It is fun! But I have to tell you, I got about 1/2 way through the 3rd one (first day on the Drake Passage) and I started to get super nauseous!! I had to stop watching! I'll tell you, if I'm getting nauseous from a video, I don't hold out much hope for me on the real thing!Started to watch the Vlog and it is certainly fun to watch. Interesting that the boxes that ABD sends are different. No beanies, hand sanitizer, wipes or lanyards in ours Going to watch the rest later today.
We received the second AbD box containing the bag, masks, sanitizer, wipes etc.. very exciting! Yet the CDC just raised Argentina to level 4; do not travel and I had another flight change from American.
What a roller coaster of emotions.. if this trip goes smoothly it will be a miracle!
I’m sure Disney is in conversations now, but others have posted in other AbD trip threads that Disney has not been going to Level 4 countries.Do we know what that means to our trip? Which is a silly question because travel isn't banned, it just says don't go.

I’m sorry I don’t really know. I was trying to remember comments from other thread posts. Hopefully someone else with more info will post something here.When we say they don't go to Level 4 countries, do we know if that means CDC Level 4 or State Department Level 4? Or is it that either one hitting Level 4 is a problem?
Inconsistencies are puzzling, though - CDC moves 22 countries to Level 4 today yet State Dept only moves 14 to level 4 today. Egypt and Bahamas are two that are now level 4 at CDC but still show as level 3 with State Dept.When we say they don't go to Level 4 countries, do we know if that means CDC Level 4 or State Department Level 4?

You made me look to see if American had changed our flight. It hasn't as of now. Are you doing the Buenos Aires escape first. When I initially made my reservations a year ago American flew directly to Buenos Aires. Since Covid they have changed things and now we have to fly through Miami (we are leaving from DFW). They put un on a flight with a one hour connecting time. Anyone that has flown through Miami knows better then that Got it changed so that we have a four hour layover and hope for the best. I am thinking of taking the dogs to the kennel a day early and trying to same day change my flight to get to Miami earlier - just in case. Our flight home is direct. Yes this has been, is a crazy roller coaster of emotions.
I am thinking our February Egypt ABD is gonna get cancelled due to the Level 4. Going to check in with our travel agent. I will let you know if I hear anything.I think the State Dept is just manually adding them and doing it slowly. They've got more than 14 new Level 4s from today now (I've been refreshing throughout the afternoon haha), but Egypt still isn't on there. Bahamas are, though. Definitely ambiguous!
EDIT: Egypt is now also Level 4 per State Dept

Yes, exactly! After having this trip rescheduled four times now, we are ready to take the refund and decide when to go to Egypt at a later time.Thanks! We’re also expecting a cancellation call, just not sure how long it’ll take them to reach out. Sigh. I think we will take the refund this time and try again some other year.
Hoping the Antartica folks still get to go…!
