Based on some news from Gerhard about restrictions slowly being lifted in BOTs and that the general feeling is the country will be open to International travelers before then end of July, we went ahead and booked our flights for the Aug trip yesterday.
We decided to go via Qatar Airways as they were so good about giving a total refund for the CNX's June tickets for one. And, since the all legs from Chicago to Doha to J'berg and into Gabby were on the same Qatar Air ticket, IF something goes south or BOTs isn't open as hoped, then they will refund the again. Lastly, r/t from Chicago all the way to Gabby with upgraded seats were less than $1K. Just have to wait and get tickets for us from Tampa to Chicago and Keven from Detroit to Chicago. Those will be under $200 ea r/t. Will wait a few weeks on those, till maybe late July.
So, we've got four going and I'll hold the elevator for one more that might want to go.
