Vacation

Before we were quarantined due to the Corona virus, we bought airline tickets for our vacation. We planned to fly into Ohio and rent a car and road trip through several states. We were going to go into Pennsylvania, New York, into Toronto, Canada, and back down into Michigan, through Indiana, and lastly fly home from Chicago, Illinois.

That plan is in limbo now.

If we had only waited 2 weeks to buy our tickets, we would have been fine; but hindsight is 20/20.

We were due to leave at the tail end of June and return home mid-July. Now we don’t know where we stand.

We are hopeful that if we are unable to travel because of the Corona virus, that the airline will give us vouchers to travel at a later date. We would then “postpone” our trip and hopefully do the same vacation the following summer, or barring that, travel somewhere for spring break next year.

The unknown is the most difficult part for me. We don’t know what the future will hold; we don’t know when we will be allowed to travel; we don’t know if vouchers will be awarded; we don’t know, we don’t know, we don’t know.

I’m hopeful that we won’t lose all of our money and will be able to salvage something for our family vacation, but I’m afraid we’ll lose it all.

The most difficult part of all of this for me is that if we had only waited 2 more weeks, we wouldn’t have to worry about losing our money now! That could be $3000 we never get back! I’m hopeful, but not overly optimistic, that we will be able to travel or at least get vouchers for our trip!
