Many vacations are planned a year or more in advance. We currently have spring break, 2 summer trips, and next winter break already planned. It’s not the cost that concerns me - we use a lot of points and we are good at bargain hunting.

The only reason I’d travel abroad is if I had a relocation plan.

Acting all innocent? A lot of us are innocent—we didn’t vote for this nutjob. It’s important to separate the people from the government.

Then you had better stand up and stop the rise of power for Nazi piece of cr@p before it ruins precious times.

Also shut due. Starts in March that means tsa is screwed

And if you have to travel to a foreign country because of family or other obligations? I mean seriously...sure....I just wouldn't do it without travel insurance.

I don't know anyone going on big trips. The usual dorks going to Disney but ... well.. they are helpless anyway

We are still taking our 3 vacations. The most expensive parts are already paid for. I'm not concerned about my job. If for whatever reason I lost it, I would be able to find a new one easily. I work in a very in demand and understaffed industry. DH job is pretty stable at the moment and he's got a pretty good skill set and if he lost his job, should not have too much difficulty finding a new one. Neither of us are feds.

We have a good savings and we keep our normal day to day living very low.

Definitely planning on the airport process being more difficult so will have to add on additional time at the airports.

Most of us don't work for the Feds. Some of us are supportive of what's going on. Many of us are in professions that don't rely on the Feds.

Supportive of completely eliminating USAID? I mean that's one of the bright spots in US soft power...

NP. I don't support completely eliminating USAID...I wish the EO had been more specific...eliminate USAID that relates in any way to things other than basic needs...basic healthcare (and I mean basic...nothing related to gender-affirming care for example), housing and food. An immediate end to all USAID not tied to its core mission of providing direct humanitarian relief.
