FYI - I received a cancellation notice for my pre-paid lodging reservation to stay at a property in Arlington, VA for the Inauguration (assuming it would be TRUMP) on dates Jan. 19-21. I thought staying in VA would be less risky, but apparently the lock-down spreads out wider than DC itself. At least I'm getting refunded though, so that's a plus.

But there goes any hope of getting to witness POTUS being re-inaugurated and taking part in that historic event. :-( Wonder if my flights will also be cancelled. They're non-refundable flights, so I'm screwed if the airline themselves doesn't cancel them.

Here's the exact language from my cancellation notice:

"In response to local, state and federal officials asking people not to travel to the Washington, D.C., metro area during the inauguration, we are canceling reservations in the area and will not be accepting any new reservations at this time."

Even if it would be Biden taking the oath on Jan. 20th, I would have still gone on my trip and waved Trump signs around (if there was a large pack of us who stuck together, of course). Now I won't even get the chance to do that either. But that could get me pounced on or killed, so I guess it's for the best. I'd never want to be in the way of a military op to give them more things to worry about (civilians' safety concerns), so let 'em have at it without innocent by-standers thrown in the mix. Cool with me. God bless our soldiers!
