Members buttercawan Posted March 14, 2020 Members Posted March 14, 2020 My trip from early April for a month is in now uncertain. NZ just announce all incoming passengers to self isolate for 14 days. So it might affect my flight back. This will cost me dearly as all my flights (Buenos Aires, RJ, PA, BH and SP) and hotels are booked and paid for. Most are not refundable or incur heavy loses. Travel insurance does not cover coronavirus related events. Will see how it goes in a week or so. Also from the looks of it, Brazil will be locked down in coming weeks and saunas (my main attractions) might be affected. Quote

I think it is a sure thing. IMHO, from TV shows I am hearing here in Brazil on TV, this will happen in the next 15 days. Quote

I wonder if it is already been enforced. Looks very likely that I'll be cancelling this year's trip. Riobard 1 Quote
Members Riobard Posted March 14, 2020 Members Posted March 14, 2020 Snagged tix and zipped in to town a few days ago, but it was cancelled. I am sad, very very upset. I miss my Mom now too. Terribly. She loved classical song. I wanted to go for her. I came out to my mother and my good father right after Philadelphia (La Mamma Morta). Woodward and Castle made it happen, though I did not have to add other bad tidings. msclelovr 1 Quote
