There's no need to panic because everyone is doing their best to keep themselves and their families safe in these trying times.

     I always tell my husband that I'm not good at directions so if you don't want to get lost, don't bother asking me "how to get there?" or "are we near this or that place?" especially when traveling abroad.  Reading guide maps don't help at all that's why a stable internet connection is our best friend when we visit a foreign land.
