The Wonderful World of Travel: A Tale of the Pandemic

December 15, 2020 by S. Nadja ZajdmanLeave a Comment

Through a neighbourhood travel agent, in December 2019 I booked a tour of northern Italy, scheduled for May 2020.

I’d chosen to fly with Gol for my entire trip, though I realized after I bought my tickets that it might have been better to mix up my … [Read more...]
