We have four flights in May and have put half down deposits on airbnb and an apartment in Berlin. BUT Kudlow said it is all under control plus the screaming yam said the warm weather will have it gone in April.

I saw some 40 day quarantines mentioned yesterday. They just don't have a clue.

We only have one trip booked so far, a week in Paris end of April, beginning of May. We can cancel the hotel until April, and if we eat the plane tickets, so be it. Not that long ago, the idea of cancellation seemed an overreaction, now it’s a real possibility.

My sister is scheduled to go on a guided tour in Italy in late March, early April and she’s watching very carefully. If the attractions are closed, there’s not much value in the trip.

Every other year I’ve already booked and paid for hotels and apartments for a fall trip, this year for some reason I couldn’t get my act together. I’ll sit tight now.

Not yet.

I’m still thinking of adding in a trip.

If necessary, I’m prepared to cancel our cruise in July. I just hope my husband is...

I'm not so much worried about what we'll encounter in France as the crowds in the airports and on the planes.

Yes. We found good fares to Paris beginning of April but decided against going. More because of fear of being quarantined than getting the virus.

I leave for Paris on Tuesday and am fighting a cold; hope it goes away!

We shall see!
I have tickets for Madrid Open

Thanks everyone for your thoughts...

I’m off to Bangkok and Vietnam March 26. My concern is that Thailand will not allow a plane coming from Japan to land (we transit through Haneda) or that we will be forced into quarantine if Japan doesn’t get its act together. I have no concerns of catching the virus.

We were thinking of going to Puglia in May, but decided we'll put off making any plans yet and, if things settle down, we'll go in September. We're last-minute planners anyway, so that part's not a problem.

I'm usually pretty cavalier about these things, for better or for worse, but we spend quite a bit of time in the Richmond District (in SF), which always has been and still is pretty much Asian central. I don't know how much to worry, but I can't pretend I don't think about it.

Would never consider a cruise they are floating Petri dishes in the best of circumstances. Avoiding close quarters such as planes etc. DH is immune compromised so it's a higher alert for us...
Staying in US road trip with the pups will have to do.

Had plans for a mid-April trip with my sister and daughter for a week in Seoul. Daughter had to cancel because of quarantine restrictions imposed upon her when she returns to her job in Thailand.

Right now for my sister and I we're in a holding pattern as to whether we're a go or not, although it's not looking good. We're concerned more about being caught up in the mess of flight cancellations/quarantine/travel restrictions than of catching the virus itself.

We are going to the Italian Riviera in September, not worried yet. I'm going to SanFrancisco in June.

Friends are in Japan right now for 2 weeks and headed to Singapore for a week after that. She said about 50% of people there are wearing masks. Their friend in Singapore asked them to bring 500 masks as they are sold out there but she had to tell him we are sold out here too.
They were going to have a few days in Seoul on the return but have cancelled that now.

Off to South America (Argentina, Brazil and Chile) for 5 weeks on Saturday. Only 1 case reported in those countries (Brazil) at this point. Will be on a 150 passenger boat thru parts of Patagonia for 4 nights. We're going. With fingers crossed.

Have college reunion with 8 others booked for Tuscany and Sicily in Sept-Oct, and no plans to cancel. Yet...

I am bound for Amsterdam in the beginning of April. Haven't seen any confirmed cases there but figure it is only time. We have booked an apartment so will be isolated in that way. Will see how my travel partner feels about the risk to make the final determination.

I'm flying to the Bay Area end of March and Las Vegas end of May. I have COPD so I have to be careful in the best of circumstances. I got horribly sick in 2019 when I flew up to Walla Walla, WA. I'm sure it was from the plane and it did not go into pneumonia but it was ugly so I'm going to try to be very careful. Clorox wipes, hand wipes, hand washing, not touching my face. No overseas travel on my horizon so feel a bit more comfortable.

I have until tomorrow to cancel London hotel - about $1000 - I got an incredibly great rate but was planning to stay 14 nights so it added up. I got a great rate on the airfare as well (just over $300) but that's a lost cause. I am 98% sure I'm going to cancel, like many of you not really afraid at all of getting sick but of an outbreak occurring resulting in closed museums, churches, etc., restricted train travel, or possible quarantines. My daughter has a trip to France and Italy starting mid April and my husband a trip to England starting late April and for them I am 'concerned' but hopeful that the world will figure things out in 6 weeks. It certainly won't be over in six weeks, in fact it will be in more places (including the US) but they may have a better handle on how much needs to be shut down/quarantined. I just read that the first vaccine has shipped from a lab in Massachusetts to the CDC today with hopes it will be in human trials by April.

We are going on a domestic road trip, but instead of leaving our freezer mostly empty, we'll fill it before we depart and hope the power stays on.

No, but I'm a little worried about my mom, who is in her late 70s and has a London-Paris trip planned for April. I wouldn't want her to get sick while traveling, and as she is older she would seem to be in a higher risk category for a more severe case were she to come down with the virus.

Did anyone read "You're Likely to Get the Coronavirus" in the Atlantic the other day? I thought it was an interesting article.

I have a short trip planned to northern Italy for early June. I did get cancellation and health insurance for the trip, but I'm not cancelling it at the moment, and will see how things pan out.

Bon Voyage dcd.

You will love Buenos Aires, more so if you are a steak eater.

Hope you take in a Tango Dance Steak Dinner Show.

I took Tango Lesson there

Wait till you see those wide Avenues there.

Are you going to the Amazon?

Dress warm for Patagonia...……….the winds can blow right through you.

Have a very safe pleasant trip . Best of Luck
