Our 2021 trip was rescheduled for this Spring. Supposed to leave April 12. Egypt, Greece, and Turkey.

I really hope we can go - trip of a lifetime - but don't think we want to be in that part of the world if Vlad invades.

Damn.

We have a Rick Steves trip to Greece planned for June.

Just about to buy airline tickets. Not sure quite what to do...

I am not having great success with travel insurance actually coming through. Even AAA for my daughter's Christmas trip home over the mountains! They all seem to go through Allianz.

Any tips?

Is the travel insurance we have used. We do that every trip now.

Good luck.

Unless something really drastic happens, I'm planning on going. I've postponed this trip twice already!
