Volume 10What is the longest you’ve been stuck somewhere you didn’t plan to be while traveling?
Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Trina Wellington DeAnda asks, “What is the longest you’ve been stuck somewhere you didn’t plan to be while traveling? Where? What happened?
Probably the longest was in 2010. I was stuck in Spain when the volcano in Iceland erupted, which stopped transatlantic flights for five days, and then there were more delays on top of that as all the flights that were canceled had to be resolved.
It wouldn’t have been so bad, but for the fact that my father was in the hospital, and I really needed to get back to the US.
Other than that, when you are traveling full-time, you are never really stuck. I was going to visit Tokelau, a small set of islands in the Pacific, but the boat going there was broken. I went to American Samoa and Tonga, came back to Samoa, and the boat was still broken, so I just left and never made it to Tokelau.
