We have a trip booked to Oaxaca City, Mexico, via Mexico City. It's a place we've both been wanting to visit for the food, culture, sights, etc. We love to travel together. But with flying being so questionable right now and our flight time (two stops each way, about 14 hours total), we're getting cold feet.
Meanwhile, a friend of ours happened to offer their beach home near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We'd have a whole place to ourselves, easy beach access, even a car to use. We're thinking of making it a road trip and stopping to see friends along the way, or driving through Charleston for the food (as you can see, good food is a big priority for us!). I don't feel nearly as excited as I do about going to Mexico, but after all the stress and planning of the past 6 months, hanging around near a beach and drinking cocktails on their porch is sounding kind of nice.
If we don't go to Mexico now, we'll call this our "mini-moon" and take our actual honeymoon next year.
My question - has anyone flown recently and had any mishaps (delays, cancellations, etc.)?
And I'm kind of taking a poll - which would you choose?
