When the pandemic started, most people cancelled their travel plans and did not want to travel by plane. As summer approached, Paul and I were trying to decide if we would make our annual summer trip to Bay View, Michigan, I have never missed a summer there in my life. And when the airlines came out with the policy of waiving penalties for any changes, we thought, what the heck, we will plan and see what happens next.
