Just saw that. We expect to hear soon that our RST Tour to Spain will subsequently be canceled. So hoped to go... Just would like to know one way or another if we are on in April or not. I cannot imagine we will be going, but we have to wait for the word! It is what it is...there are a lot worse things in life besides a canceled trip.

I’m sure it is killing him to do so. Time will tell.

It's one thing to reschedule a trip if your money is refunded or you can use it for another trip. It's another thing if someone has been saving for years and now stand to lose thousands of dollars.

Wow.
It doesn’t include the UK. People can probably reroute via London.

Americans are not stuck in Europe for 30 days. They can return but must undergo extra health screenings. It is still fluid so no one knows exactly what that means.

I'm pretty confused by the UK part.... seems like a major hub/loophole.

Are Americans stuck in Europe for 30 days or did he say something about testing Americans returning and letting them back? How did you understand tonights TV announcement?
Frank II....I understood as you did. I am curious if RST will cancel our upcoming Spain trip...we might get there but will we get back into the U.S.? So many unanswered questions. Hope we can find out soon so we can cancel or reschedule. It's hard not knowing if we are going, but what choice is there? RST will do the right thing. I fully believe that.

Gives all new meaning to ”The Special Relationship”
I’m not making light of the situation, but I couldn’t help myself. I know how terribly disappointing and disruptive this will be.

The story I am reading is that the speech said "Europe", but the order as published says "Schengen Area". Yet another person who doesn't know the difference, plenty of posts on this forum explaining the difference, if he had come here first. ☺
I foresee a boom for Heathrow Airport, and even more questions about how to transfer from an Easyjet flight into Gatwick to an intercontinental flight out of Heathrow.
