Query:
I'm researching a story about people who are rethinking their
fall and winter travel plans in the wake of COVID-19. How should
hotel, flight, restaurant and excursion decisions change? What
should the savvy traveler be booking? I'd love to hear from
travelers who are reconsidering their fall and winter travel
itineraries. Where were you going to go? Where are you now going
(if at all)? I'd also be interested in hearing from travel
experts on this topic. Should travelers rethink their plans?
Where should they -- or shouldn't they -- go?

Query:
I'm researching a story about how to exit your timeshare during
a pandemic. I'd love to hear from anyone who is trying to get
out of their timeshare now. Is your timeshare company offering a
way out? Is it a reasonable and affordable option? Or have you
tried to contact a timeshare exit company? I'm also interested
in hearing from timeshare experts on this topic. What should
cash-strapped travelers do if they can't pay their timeshare
fees? Do you have any advice on getting out during the pandemic?
