I canceled my flight to CA

KCDiva · ‎03-09-2010

I was going to Los Angeles to see my daughter and granddaughter at Christmas. I made the reservations months ago when I felt better about going but as the time got closer I knew I couldn't go. I did not feel it was safe. I thought about flying Delta as they still have the middle seats open but still didn't feel comfortable. They are the only family I have and I miss them terribly but I will have to wait. I actually feel better after making a decision to stay home. I was so stressed out and worried. Then a friend of mine told me she got sick and tested positive after working at the polls. She had a mild case but still she got it. A face time Christmas it will be. I already mailed their presents and cookies. I am hopeful 2021 will be a little better but not holding my breath.

Better safe than sorry. You absolutely made the right call. You know that in your heart. That's why you have shed the stress, because you did the right thing.

We were supposed to go to CA a few weeks ago but cancelled when American Airlines changed our flights to leaving very early and returning at 9 pm. We didn't want to be away from the cats that long and it was to late to hire a pet sitter. They cancelled all the flights from Phoenix to San Diego except for one coming and 1 returning. I guess they jammed everyone on those two flights. We thought about driving but didn't want the hassle. Kinda glad we didn't go now with Covid being so bad.

Definitely the right decision. It's been many months since I saw members of my family in person. I actually told my daughter and my grandson NOT to come to me on Thanksgiving. We had a Zoom dinner and it worked out well. My best friend joined us too. Everyone ate together, in a way, and we were safe. I told my grandchildren that I miss them terribly but I love them even more and would not want them to risk their health by leaving home and traveling long distances.

Hope this gives your family peace. Next year will work out just fine. Stay safe.

Saw on CNN yesterday that LA is implementing a stay at home order but that the police weren't going to enforce it.

Think you made the right decision for yourself but also for your daughter and granddaughter.You know they would love to see you and you see them.

BUT

The cases are on the rise,as they predicted, and think it is going to get worst before it can get better unfortunately.

Some nights watching news channels and seeing families suffering such losses is so sad.

Think your daughter rather see you by face time , knowing you are safe in your home . There will be other times to celebrate hopefully in 2021
