I booked this trip to Marakech 6 months ago, since it would fulfill my bucket list of visiting every populated continent. There is no way I am going to Antartica.

Nothing like a pouty punguin to make someone feel bad.

I doubt it will call later on this week she usually likes going with her husband on these cruises but I dont think he wanted to go this year

[VTenigma]

I don’t even want to travel to town.

What if you catch coronavirus right here in the USA and kick off without finishing the bucket list though?

I got the travel insurance.

I almost never click that box, so good for you, as it gives you more options at this point. That said, the airlines are being very forgiving over any canceled/changed itinerary that is COVID 19 related, so if you do cancel, you can avoid the deductible by blaming it on the disease.

If you do go, on the plus side for your trip is that you're going to have the place to yourself. Have a friend doing your continent check list, as well, and has a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in two weeks that was long planned. He decided to go under the theory that he'll be treated like a king since he and his wife will be the only tourists there.

I don’t know exactly why but I spent last week end in a hospital. The housekeepers ALL had Dawn in their supply carts. When I saw the majority of the techs, aids, etc. washing with the Dawn. I mentioned it and was told it was best for actually getting rid of bacteria, germs and molds and doesn’t dry out your skin like the alcohol based steri- wipes do. I looked back in history and figured if it is good for cleaning ducks and seagulls it ought to be real good for us.

Exactly.

11 Things That Tourists Should Never Do in Morocco, Ever

Fear won’t stop death, but it will stop life. Go, have fun, be smart about how you travel and comport yourself. Bring back great memories.

I am in similar boat...Europe in May

Same here. Rome in Mid-May. Other plans are south of Rome, but it's not looking good for the home team. Sux.

Bingo!!

I didn’t in Bogata but that was mostly because I was on my guard.

I have/had (maybe passed on by now) a friend who grew up there as a missionary kid and, when the opportunity presented itself, he went back for a while. I went to visit him one year and he assured me that the theft problem in Colombia was every bit as bad as its reputation.

YMMV, I leave in a month, so we’ll see. Got home about a month ago. I don’t do tour ships or group bookings. I am in touch with friends and relatives on the ground. I don’t believe what the MSM says.

USA TSA is hinky about liquids.
