Summer Plans Keep A'Changing

Last summer, I was supposed to go and visit my family in America. It would be one of the last chances for my daughter to enjoy some time with her American family before Junior high and high school stole so much of her time. 

Unfortunately the current political climate in America, even then, was not what I could consider safe for my husband as a non-citizen and non-resident of America. At that point we already had news reports of people being detained at the borders merely for not already being citizens of America. Now, the situation is so much worse and more violent that I do not know when I will next be able to visit my home country. 

Different country (Japan, not US), different distant fire, similar helpless feeling. 

When we realized we couldn't be safe going to America, I did what I could to get as much of a refund as possible on the tickets my father had already paid for. The best option I had was getting a large portion of the value put in a kind of online wallet to be used for a later ticket purchase within one year of the original purchase date. 

Where would you go if you had to fly Air Canada somewhere this summer?
