We were supposed to go to Japan last April, and we were planning a trip to France that would have happened now, in September. Sorry, no travels. Right now the world won’t allow Americans to enter their countries. Despite all of the advertisements saying that they do “deep-cleaning,” we are apprehensive about airports, airplanes, hotels, and
