Default Time to pull the plug ?

My wife and I have a auto trip to Glacier scheduled the middle of July and towing the bike to the Black Hills the end of Aug. Were in for a thousand plus non refundable for the 2 trips. Undecided to roll the dice or cancel and take my losses. Interested in what you would do and why

I'm going to do everything I had planned to, unless for some reason it's prohibited. I refuse to let this BS hold me back.

Will be going through Glacier at the end of July.. Don't plan on changing anything at this point. Don't think the virus can ride that fast..
But I won't be spending much time in the towns. On a WY/MT/ID tour..

If you can't get a 'refundable' booking then I wouldn't risk it.

It’s only March and ur concerned about Aug.
if we’re still dealing with this 5 months from now we have bigger concerns than refundable vacation plans...

Well, according to the WHO and CDC scientists, this should all start to fade in April, at the latest. Personally, I wouldnt be canceling a thing.
Hell, I just booked a Hawaii trip for $550 round trip. In December, when I was looking at flights, it was $1800 for the cheap ones...

This was supposed to be heat resistant, see how the numbers have grown in Florida, 3 weeks ago was there I think they had 1 in Tampa, now the number state wide is 328.........this gets community spread, who knows where it will go. One think I'd check is your insurance coverage, and if you can even get across borders. Good luck with your decision

That's because the median age in Florida is 550 years old.
