Today, after spending Christmas alone because my bus home got cancelled due to Covid, I found that I have to spend the New Year alone and potentially homeless because my flight home got cancelled. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I live in dorms and found out everyone is leaving for Christmas break. I also found out my student loan didn't go through, so now I cant afford to go visit my family that lives over 7 hours away. I guess I'll be spending Christmas alone in a dorm room. FML
Today, my family is going to the USA for Christmas after being lucky and getting their tickets re-booked. My ticket was canceled due to the snow, and will not be re-booked. Merry Christmas to me, myself and a bottle of wine. FML
Today, I'm spending New Year's Eve absolutely alone. My girlfriend canceled our plans the day before so she could spend it with strangers and booze. Somehow, I still love her. FML
Today, I got dressed up in my best attire and drove an hour to my family Christmas, only to find out it was canceled, and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I picked up my 5 year-old son for Christmas break. We were on the way to the airport, talking about Santa and what we were going to do over the break when my fiancée called to tell me that she had been exposed to Covid-19. I took him home to his mom's and missed my flight. FML
Today, I celebrated the new year. Alone. FML
Today, I'm anxious traveler who's flying by myself. My first flight got delayed due to one issue after another. This caused me to miss my connection. There are no more flights today so I'm having to stay overnight which, by the way, the airline won't pay for. FML
Today, after spending the night anxiously waiting for a negative COVID test result which would allow me to travel, I got to the airport in the morning, despite delays, and finally realized that my wallet is sitting on my couch at home. I'm on the plane now. There's no going back. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I went to a New Year's party with my boyfriend. Later into the night, he got drunk, and left me there to go to another party with his friends. I have no car, and no way to get home. FML

With the Pandemic why were you not staying "Home" to begin with?

I feel bad for you, but there's a freaking pandemic that's been going on all year. And you live in Italy, one of the worst countries hit throughout Europe. I get that you're lonely, yet I don't see how you weren't expecting this. Also, how exactly are you going to be homeless? If you paid for a flight you couldn't really afford, and now you lack rent, see if the airline will refund you. Or is it that you're just being evicted?

I am hoping for more to the story, otherwise while it is shitty YDI for travelling during a world wide pandemic. I hear about management's families at work stuck in Mexico, or Hawaii during this. but also people who are being "sent back home" after living somewhere for months prior to covid and who had planned to stay...

Yes because you shouldn't be traveling during a pandemic.

That's what happens to people who travel during a pandemic. Karma!

I haven't seen my family or friends in almost a year due to covid and I won't see them until it's over. It's a sacrifice I made when I became a nurse during a pandemic. I know spending time, especially holidays away from family sucks, but taking a bus and a plane during the pandemic is really unsafe. Trust that you can make it through this year of holidays away from your loved ones. How'd you feel if you caught it on the bus/plane and carried it back to your family, and one of those family members died from it? I know it sucks, but for now just put your happiness aside to keep your family safe and alive. The vaccine is here so you won't have that much longer before you're able to travel. (I don't know how long, but it can't be THAT much longer) You've made it this far, so just hold out a bit longer. And please don't travel. Keep your friends & family safe.
