conv: I was traveling internationally literally the day after a high level travel alert was issued for the region I was going. I once was taking a big trip I had been looking forward to and the day before we leave for an international flight a high level travel advisory was issued for the area we were going. Ugh! I hate it when stuff like that happens. Were you able to get a refund on your tickets? No. We went ahead and went on. It actually turned out to be a great trip with zero incidents.  Awesome!! Yeah. Glad we didnt bail. That is very true! Was it bad weather? No. Best I can remember it didnt even rain.
