Rick Steves notified us today that our trip to Ireland is
canceled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. At least, Rick Steves will be
sending a 100% reimbursement. Other tour operators are only giving credit for
future travel. My sister had a tour to Italy scheduled with Grand Circle. Grand
Circle changed its refund policy before canceling the trip from a refund to
future credit.
Now we need to cancel the air and hotel portions of the
trip that we added on our own. It sounds like a task for tomorrow. The pandemic
is destroying the tour and travel industry, which includes airlines,
restaurants, hotels, car rentals, and shuttles in addition to tour operators
and travel agents.
I notified the airlines and hotels that our tour company
canceled our trip to Ireland. One hotel is issuing a full refund. One hotel has
not responded yet. The airline sent a case number. Hopefully, we will get a
full refund. I will cancel the trip insurance if I get refunds from everyone.
Otherwise, I will let the trip insurance make us whole. What a disappointment it
is to have to stay home this summer. At least we are healthy. I just want to
get out. It is so bad that I offered to relocate the opossum that Candi caught
in here Havahart trap. I gave that possum the ride of its life going to the
country and got to exercise the 370Z.
