WOW What a Year 2020
Travel during 2020
Looking back at this year it will be seen as a crazy year!
Thats obvious as I write this and its only July. The Coronavirus is the most obvious disruption, but there have certainly been some more disruptions for us than we wished for.
This year starts with a news report about a virus in the City of Wuhan.
The virus then starts its way around the world with its next reported detection on the 8 January as Chiang Mai Airport. Strangely, this didn’t worry us when we heard it and the lady was safe in the local hosipital. One week later we flew into the same airport to start our annual Thailand getaway, unaware how life will change!
Where would we go from here, would we even be able to get back into our own country? So here is our 2020 adventure – read on to find out!
