I imagine that a LOT of otherwise events and things planned, due to Coronavirus, are being cancelled. Of course, I already mentioned that for work all of my travel is on hold until further notice.
We had a wedding to go to for my cousin in early May. That has been postponed. My wife and I were going to Memphis for our anniversary in mid-May. We were going to stay at the Tunica and do some gambling. I have not cancelled the trip and the reservations yet...
But I am going to.
It is just simply too uncertain at this point. I don't see things getting back to any level of normal quite THAT soon. So we will just find something else to do. Still taking the time off we took. We'll just be at home instead.
Any plans you made that you have reconsidered due to this whole Coronavirus thing?

I guess the biggest plan was our cruise to the Bahamas in April. I really can't believe the people who are really hoping their cruises won't be cancelled.
We've been to Tunica many times over the years (my husband's from Arkansas.) Hope y'all get to go in the future.

@porwest Are these people completely in the dark about this plague? I bet those passengers on those ships that can't get off and are dying won't be too excited about their next cruise.

@1creekgirl No. They won't. It's so weird to me right now how much about how we think about things has changed. I KNOW it is not permanent. But it is still weird.

Yeah. We were there a couple of years ago and stopped into the casinos. We'll get there again. Maybe we will see if we can sneak something in in August or so. Who knows?
As for the cruise...I would DEFINITELY be cancelling that. Not sure why people would want to be in close quarters on a ship right now.

Well, hopefully by the time summer gets well underway we might be at least SOMEWHAT past this. Not 100%. But on our way to being past it to some extent. Let's hope. I am hoping that by June I will feel comfortable getting back to work travel.

At work, we had already cancelled all of our programs and events through April, but today we made the decision to cancel everything through May as well. And, as I've said since the beginning, this thing will probably still be around in June as well, so we might have to cancel all of June's activities.

@JudyEv And through it all I am thankful for my health, for my family, and for life in general. This thing has really put a lot of things in it's proper perspective. We've all been forced to stop and smell the roses, per se.

@porwest A friend of mine decided that he was going to sing on a conference call. That is one thing we all agreed was better, cancelled!

My publishing date is postponed because the person reading/proofing Legacy can't get it back to me before May. That's my only delay.

Nope. No plans changed as of now. As the only thing we had scheduled is my concert in july. So far that's still on.

Sorry to hear that, I guess it's like that all over the place. Frustrating times, certainly.
Yeah, I have had to cancel plans, definitely. The main ones that I can think of are concerts, usually go to a handful, or so, of them a year, Besides that, just am not visiting family, other than my parents, because of people choosing to self-quarantine, etc.

I was going to celebrate my birthday on June 8th. 75 years old. I wanted to have around 30 or so people at home. It is impossible now. From what I have heard, I will have to be alone probably until July. If.

I was thinking of going to F1 in Singapore but I am not sure how it will turn out to be considering that events are currently still been cancelled. So I am not sure if we could ended up having F1 cancelled in Singapore as well.

All the endurance rides we planned to attend have been cancelled. These are the main ones but all local events are cancelled too - and no golf for Vince at the moment.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of plans we need to cancel thanks to this darn plague.
1. The company summer outing
2. The Lenten celebrations
3. My martial arts tournaments and training
4. Lots and lots of company meetings outside of the office
5. The weekly Friday night life
6. Birthday celebrations
And probably, there are lots more I forgot to list. And we won't be getting them back for a long time.

Yes I agree. Anything involving entertainment and hospitality will be the last to reopen. Being from the shore area which relies heavily on tourism I am hoping things improve by summer.
