While multibillionaires could afford to leave our Covid-ravaged earth, we ordinary folks canceled travel plans and crossed off long dreamed-for trips from our bucket lists during the pandemic. Sometimes it is hard to imagine that for most of recorded history people traveled for necessity, not pleasure. Take my parents’ generation. Mama and Papa made only one voyage in their lives, as immigrants to America at the turn of the 20th century. They had a compelling reason to leave their family in a poverty-stricken village in the mountains of central Italy for a chance to work in America. My parents described their travel experience as one not to be repeated. [/QUOTE]
