Things getting real

I'm in the Netherlands. No gatherings over 100 people. People are supposed to work from home as much as possible. Stupid Trump may make it impossible for me to get to my daughter's wedding in the US.

I hope this doesn't count as drama or whining.

Perhaps a wedding + reception are inadvisable at this time. nt tblue37 Mar 2020 #3

Just fly here through London (I know - Heathrow is HORRIBLE!) but then you would be coming to the US through the UK.

Love the Netherlands! We visited Haarlem last year and actually considered moving there for a while.

autocorrect rendered it as "inexcusable," which is much harsher, much nastier than anything I meant to say.

But when it passes, people will resume normal life.

Here's hoping it doesn't take too long.
