Airlines and aerospace industries appear crippled for now. This situation will pass given time and vaccines but I do not anticipate any international travel for us in 2020.<br /><br />If you get another chance to visit Switzerland, I recommend taking it. The beauty of the country is unbelievable.<br /><br />Sorry to read of your lifelong allergy battle.

I have two work colleagues who even had to cancel their weddings also! My wife and I are just thankful we were able to enjoy our honeymoon in February prior to things becoming so serious as they are now.<br /><br />I hope you’ll get to travel a little later in the year when/if this virus has ran its course. Seeing those pics makes me regret never taking up a family friend’s offer to go visit them in Geneva when I still lived in the UK.<br /><br />As to allergies, I’ve suffered from them since childhood, welcome the missus to a wonderful world of sniffling and uncontrollable sneezes!
