Supposed to be taking a friend of mine (who hasn't been to NOLA in 25 years and really doesn't remember it due to all the drinking, lol) to NOLA for a 3 night weekend trip in 2 weeks.

Obviously I'm not nearly as concerned as I would be if it was a trip to Europe or elsewhere out of the country. I have a trip planned for Costa Rica in May but that's another thread. After what President Trump just did with the Europe travel ban I am starting to get nervous.

I don't have a wife or kids so I don't have that to worry about. At this point we are driving from Florida which is looking like a smarter and smarter decision. With that said, is there any realistic chance that interstate travel is banned?

What would you do?

Not rely on the OT for advice.

I swear to God this shite is ridiculous. Use common sense and personal judgment and come to a rational decision on how to live your life.

For the record, OP, this isn’t all directed at you. It’s mostly directed at the ridiculous and unnecessary number of CV related threads.

So what if it was? You could go on a multiple week bender in NOLA.

Id say cross that bridge when you get there.

If interstate travel is restricted then you have bigger problems.

I don’t think interstate travel will be enforced because it’d take far too many resources and frankly it’s just a bit crazy. I am preparing to drive the 16 hours it takes to get from Orlando to Houston in the next couple days, whenever they shut down Disney and cancel my flights.

It’s going to suck.

Easy to stay but this friend has connections. She thinks she can either get us a significantly discounted rate at the Bourbon Orleans or a free concierge level room at the Four Points by Sheraton off Bourbon Street. Both well above what I would typically pay for a hotel. It's taken us 6 months to coordinate a long weekend where we could go.

Obviously I might not be the one deciding, I'll have to see if she wants to risk it or not. Part of me is pretty much "f*ck it, let's go".

Not related but I actually live in Orlando and work at Disney. I'm hoping they won't close Disney but at this point I think it's almost inevitable. Seems like they are trying to have the whole country shut down for 2 weeks.

What worries me is what will happen pay wise. Will I get paid or just get screwed over? Of course many of us will have that same question.
