Yes – was planning on going. The bigger concern for me from a logistics standpoint isn’t the travel itself, but the tickets for the games. Are they going to be held on the same schedule? Will they re-issue tickets? My travel for 2021 will likely be dictated by what happens with my tickets to the events I purchased.
Aww, I had ANA first class tickets and hotels all lined up for baseball. Now I have to plan all over again. Obviously a trifle considering, but still.
Any thoughts on speculating on the same time 2021 and booking?
Big in Japan
It became official.
What a relief. We all need to #stayhome until COVID-19 cases are zero.
Athletes would have been unfairly exposed during the their preparations for the games, which includes travel that would be happening over the next couple of months.
