We were supposed to go with them this summer, but have gotten refunds on all our tickets. Although we are fully vaccinated, I don't feel safe going to a place where it's still running rampant and their vaccination program is atrocious. My daughters' MIL is 74 and she just got her first shot 2 weeks ago and will get the 2nd one in 2 more weeks. last I heard, less then 10% of their population has been vaccinnated.
