Thankful I was blessed to get a Galapagos trip (did 19 of the 20 offered dives) in Jan. 2020. Once the pandemic really got underway, I basically didn't bother trying to plan a trip this year. The odds of catching the disease, of testing positive and being barred from going last minute, or a place I had arrangements to be suddenly blocking travel from the U.S., maybe getting stuck abroad, so much has been doing on that making plans months in advance for a roughly $3,500 - 4 grand trip with airfare assuming no disruptions would take place...didn't seem the way to go.
Put off plans till May 2021. Hopefully widespread vaccination will be in place or happening by then. Very eager to get vaccinated.
Could've dove at the local quarry, which is a good one, but wasn't inclined to do that.
Gotta say...if I were retired, some of the mouthwateringly good deals to the Galapagos and Red Sea, or the Roatan Aggressor, might've roped me in. People able to plan and go within a 4 to 6 week time frame had opportunities to nail some amazing deals late this year. I don't know what their airfare costs were.
