Always appreciated your posts Dave, look forward to when you can travel again and hobby once again, sharing with us your reviews and experiences.
Didn't realize (but makes sense now I think of it) that with a round globe we all call home, Canada, especially eastern Canada, is considerably closer to Europe than you are in Phoenix. Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing.
The trip we had planned this year was a combination of celebrating a 65th birthday (not mine, lol) by visiting the towns in various countries our family came from. 15 day road trip around Europe - all mapped out, hotels books and flights locked in. I was fortunate to push over $300K of product purchases as a vendor to my clients through a points generating Visa which gave us 330,000 Avion points to offset more than half the airline costs and hence the $11K vouchers I have spoken of in this thread. As you can see this trip has been years in the making.
And now - it's on hold. I share a little more insight into what the trip's intention were to help understand when I say the sadness of when we knew we had to cancel everything was pretty intense...but has been dealt with and we now look forward to 2022/2023. As for the birthday lady, she's 65-until-we-go-to-Europe and no one is arguing it, lol.
Anyways, back to flight discussions - I did want to ask, anyone see themselves flying, well anywhere, in 2020? short flight, domestic or other? Work or Play or Both?
I'll answer my own question to share - normally I fly 4-6 times a year for work and play (often mixed). At this point I do not see any need being high enough and conditions being comfortable enough for me to fly again in 2020.
Cheers
