well, looks like im going to have to can 4 plane tickets wife and i have leaving for Japan next week for our kids' spring break. was $1000 a pop that was bought before xmas.... wife's going to check into rescheduling latter part of next week. if we're lucky it will cost us another grand or so to reschedule, but since they are cheap tickets worst case it will need to be cancelled with no refund. unless the US advises travelers to stay out of Japan. Then our airline can then give us the option to reschedule free of charge.
im glad we did not tell the kids about this trip... was suppose to be a surprise.
