If you’re like me, there have been many changes in plans over this past year. Weddings and other events have been rescheduled and rescheduled again. I’m about to change one of those rescheduled reservations. I assume the hotel will be more than accommodating due to this crazy pandemic, but it did remind me of a time long passed, when I used to travel all the time.
