Comments (8)Had a great time in MN and am back in IN. Was at my brother's last night and today (had trash can turkey) and now at Jaycie's house for the night. Back to daughter Wendy's house in Warsaw tomorrow. If you're on FB, you've seen that my husband's son from his first marriage unexpectedly passed away on June 11th. For those of you who know our oldest daughter, Salijo, her doctor is sending her to a cardiologist and the appt is on Monday. Would appreciate prayer..........See MoreFloridians – travel to Sarasota, Zika?
Comments (5)I'm near Tampa your dates should be a safe time to travel to Florida. Last December the Governor announced that there were no new Zika cases in the last 3 or 4 months in the state. Have not heard of any since then. My niece (also trying to conceive) tracks each and every Zika outbreak, she finally says that she feels like she can relax a little and enjoy being outside....See MoreCoronavirus - travel plans?
Comments (336)Lakeaffect, thank you for the link. My son is coming home for spring break tomorrow, and his university hasn't given any indication that classes will not resume after the break. Its web site has information and updates on the coronavirus, and indicates it's working with the city's health department to monitor outbreaks, which so far, have not reached the city. I'm an adjunct at a community college in a major metropolitan area that has seen a few cases. My college has not mentioned anything. Nothing. I just did a search at its web site, my inbox... nada. Our spring break is in a few weeks, so perhaps our officials are working on a plan. I'm surprised by the lack of information because they're usually excellent facilitators of information to our community....See MoreTravel plans averted yet?
Comments (47)We're pretty bummed out. DH and I and our DD and DSIL haven't been on a vacation in 10 years, since their wedding overseas. During those years, they gave us 3 sweet grandchildren. They've always said they'd have many years to travel as a couple, but wanted to plan a dream vacation, which DH and I could share with them, to spend time with our young grandchildren, while we're both still healthy. We all needed the long gap of no vacations, to save up money for this dream trip, and DD also wanted to know they'd only have one child still in diapers, lol. We were thrilled to finally book our trip to Florida, staying in a Disney World resort, within the Disney park, long before this virus reared its ugly head. The particular timing was to coincide with their wedding anniversary, my 65th birthday, and our granddaughter's first birthday. Postponing it means the milestones we planned to celebrate at Disney, will likely not even be celebrated together, to avoid traveling to each other's city and risking catching/passing on the virus. As well, all alternate things one could normally do with young children, (like going to a zoo, bowling, museum, library, sporting event, etc.) during a cancelled vacation, are now shut down. Our 4 and 6 year old grandsons are beyond sad, knowing they can no longer go to Disney World, or even do anything in their city, to help fill the void. My pity party aside, (because sometimes one just needs to pout, lol) we are of course understanding WHY this is all necessary. I pray that this virus will quickly be on the downslide, now that so many places are shutting down. That should make it very easy for people to socially distance themselves, and give the virus a chance to die out. We all must make sacrifices to protect our most vulnerable during this time, and of course, cancelled plans are a small price to pay, to accomplish that....See Moreoutsideplaying_gw
