I had four OK maybe five trips planned for this year. I was so ready so excited because they revolved around my family and friends. What are these trips, you ask? I am so glad you did so let me share with you. March - I was going to head to Houston to celebrate my friends wedding and attend the opening game of the season for Houston to mark one more MLB park off my list. Bonus, the Angels were going to be in town. Perfect way to start the MLB season and use the excuse to splurge on this weekend trip to also celebrate my birthday!! This one involved a friend but it was about baseball too!!!
April - super tentative dream trip to go to Palm Desert for Passover but this was a long shot and not really planned just something I hoped to be able to do and had a fare alert setup.
May - HB Singles Conference!!! I bought an early registration ticket and put a fare alert setup. Excited to see friends and maybe Laura & Spencer in LA.
July - Salt Lake City Celebration with the Health and Wellness company I am a part of. Again, I had a fare alert set on my phone.
September - Kelly Clarkson Invincible Concert in Las Vegas. I almost purchased my ticket last week as my alert had a great fare.
November - a week in CA for Thanksgiving with family and some time with friends.
The Passover trip was no longer a reality around early March and I was OK with that but I was not OK with the feeling that I kept getting that the Singles Conference would be cancelled. Then on March 21 when it was officially cancelled, I was OK because I had been having the feeling for a few weeks but had not shared them with many people. I was primarily saddened because the reality that COVID was now keeping me from going home and it would be over a year since I had seen my CA friends and Laura who was the only family member I was able to see on my last visit to CA.
Then a few days later I got the notice that my SLC event was being cancelled and it would be virtual. Again sadness!!!! However, I tried to be positive by reminding myself I would just save money and would be seeing my CA friends in Vegas Baby. However, I kid you not about 3 weeks ago the feeling that my Vegas trip would be cancelled started creeping into my head. It is no longer a feeling, it is a reality. It has been cancelled.
So now I only have Thanksgiving left and I am scared and angry and sad that what if Thanksgiving is cancelled this year. I will be heartbroken. It would be four thanksgivings missed with my family - 2 back to back and I do not think I can handle that. So I will not let that thought creep into my mind.
I guess the upside is I can start making plans for 2021!!! OHH and you probably figured it out, I am down to UNO!!!
