Thursday

I heard a lady today call into a show who was a travel against said that people are canceling trips and are afraid to fly.

I’m also inthat category. Dropped my plans to go to London in September. And his actions are going to hurt international travel to this country. It’s as if they are blind to the consequences of their idiot actions.
