Back in January, I had posted our great plans for our spring and summer travels.
summer travel plans Italy to uk
Today would have been the end of week two. As many others know, unraveling and cancelling plans is way less fun than the planning part. At this point, I’ve cancelled mist things that have a financial consequence, either to obtain a refund, or voucher. Last week the ferry was cancelled to Croatia, so everything from Italy to Bratislava is now cancelled.
While I don’t think it’s likely, the Prague to Scotland plans remain intact, on the chance we can travel in the EU in July/August (we are Italy residents). The Prague apartment refund is a voucher, so some incentive to keep that reservation. The ferry from Amsterdam to England is only refundable via voucher if the ferry line cancels. (Service suspended now, but who knows for July). We have until June 26 to cancel Hadrians wall hiking tour to get the deposit as a voucher.
Assuming all our travel plans made back in January are a bust, I’ve been pleased at the responses for the reservations that were clearly non-refundable. While we will end up with about $2000 in vouchers, that we may or may not use, it’s something other than, “sorry, you’ve lost your deposit, you get nothing”. Still waiting on about $850 in credits on our credit card, which we’ve been told will take 60-90 days.
But as Italy opens up and allows travel for pleasure between regions, we will have a unique opportunity to see parts of Italy with just a few other tourists. So still hope of planning some travels here this summer.
