I am traveling to the UK and Europe next week.

This is going to be so embarrassing answering questions about our "president".

*sigh*

1. ah geez

I am sorry. Please keep us informed about what you get asked if you can.

[FLPanhandle]

4. Will do.

I suspect the most common question I'll get is "WTF where you guys thinking!?!"

[mwooldri]

2. I want to go home...

... but I'm worried whether I would be let back in to my adopted home if I went. I might actually have nothing to fear (the UK still isn't on the banned list) but if DJT's admin, without no evidence of any actual threat, can do this then what??

I think if you make it abundantly clear that you voted for Hillary you'll probably get a load of sympathy and the people who you are visiting with can join in with you in lamenting the fact that we have someone in the WH who makes George W Bush look like Mother Teresa.

[FLPanhandle]

5. Yep.

Best I can do is roll my eyes at the outcome and remind people that a majority of the voters rejected Trump and we will suffer more than they will.

3. We'll be going in mid-February

and are concerned that by that time there may be retaliatory bans at airports. So for the first time ever we bought trip insurance, for in case we have to cancel our non-refundable trip.

It's going to be embarrassing for sure. I am packing and will wear my pussyhat.

[FLPanhandle]

6. A Pussyhat!

Great idea. I need to track one down ASAP. Thanks!

[mwooldri]

10. Always good to buy trip insurance anyway.

Plenty of mundane things force people to abandon trips they want to take.

Definitely take the pussyhat. I'm certain that in most parts of Europe you will receive plenty of sympathy for being in the anti-DJT majority.

7. I have 3 words for you

"Je suis Canadian."

[FLPanhandle]

8. I thought of that

But figured my southern accent would betray me.

11. Windsor Ontario Canada is geographically south of Detroit

That is where your accent could be from...😙innocent whistle

[mainer]

9. haha, I've used that myself

I even have maple leaf luggage tags.
