Are you becoming afraid to travel?

I'm watching CTV news right now and they are suggesting that some people are now afraid to travel due to terrorist attacks. Will you think about it before you travel outside Canada?

About twenty-five years ago my wife and I were planning to travel to Washington DC. A well-meaning relative scared the hell out of my wife, telling her about the crime and suggesting we stay in a hotel with supervised parking lots otherwise we'd be lucky to ever see our car again. After that my wife refused to go. Instead we went to Ottawa and guess what--the licence plates were stolen from my car while in the hotel parking lot. Lol! Probably nothing would have happened in Washington but we'll never know.

I don't think that I would be concerned about travelling, but I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't go to, say, Manchester right now. And there's still no point in suggesting Washington again, but interestingly enough, she has no issue going to Detroit--we've been there several times. Every music fan should experience the Motown Museum, and you can spend an entire day at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn.

I was scheduled to take a flight 9/11, obviously cancelled.

But I took the next available.

There is no way to stop a suicide bomber, so don't worry about it.

not really, I travel as part of my job... last year Nevada and Lisbon Portugal... This year so far Calgary and an upcoming trip to Portland Oregon. There is always a risk in travel, but I'd rather take that risk then sit at how complaining. Cheers.

I have thought about this and there are now places that I will not travel based on the terrorism going on. Thankfully I have traveled most of Europe now, so most of my TDL locations are not targets for attacks at the moment.

Personally I'll wait until the current Covid issue is under much better control. Less worried about terrorists than the current world wide Covid issue. Heck I've waited this long what's a while longer. LOL
