Did I mention how rude people are nowadays? Plus places are way hotter than they used to be, and dirtier, and no one appreciates how much better this place was in 1975 despite how many times you tell them... and the travel insurance premiums are ridiculous... so you don’t really care much for travel anymore so it’s really no skin off your nose if we close the borders and don’t travel.
But here’s the thing, plenty of people still want to travel. They’re just younger than you. You got old and over cautious: it happens to everyone and now it’s happened to you.
Hell NO! The last ten years, particularly after I retired from the airlines have been the very best years. My 20 year old grandson, god damn **** kid, reminds me I'm old most days.
P.S I don't know how we ever managed without, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, GPS and vehicles that don't break down
