Curious

Jeff from Saint Andrews

I am just wondering about traveling. I need to get my wife's 2 kids in the Philippines here with us but until I have steady work I can't afford much at all. Now before Covid19 I had a good job but got retired to save them money and have lived off my savings for a trip there. Back then the flight cost just under $900 return per person but now looking on the cheaper flights the lowest cost is almost $6,000 which I can't afford as I need to take myself, my wife and 3.5 yr old boy there and come back with the other 2 kids an 8 yr old girl and a 12 yr old boy. This now seems impossible for a long while yet and at 61 my time is precious to get this sorted.
Add to this tonight I saw on the news India makes most of the Covid19 injections but it has the worst rate of catching the disease and also the deaths from it. How many other things in the world are so out of balance as before Covid19 came into our lives?
