Now more than ever, you need a COVID Plan B when you travel abroad. Otherwise, you could find yourself stuck in quarantine, which may feel like prison. Susan Bilhorn had a COVID-19 Plan B, which included buying travel insurance, packing extra medications -- and booking her trip with the right tour company. Good thing she did. While visiting Croatia recently, her tour guide discreetly notified her she'd tested positive for COVID. Minutes later, an ambulance picked her up and delivered her to a...
I was friends with Sally for nearly 10 years. She was my best friend, and I assure you it was a purely platonic relationship. When I married, Sally and my wife became best friends. Sometimes they did things together, sometimes all three of us did things together. A while ago I noticed Sally drifting away from me. She stopped returning my phone calls and emails. When I questioned her, she offered flimsy excuses like she was busy or couldn’t reach me. One day I emailed my wife at work that I thoug...
When Robert Sharp accidentally makes two nonrefundable car rental reservations on Hotwire, he assumes the company will cancel one for him. But it doesn't. Can he drive two cars at once? I booked a prepaid, nonrefundable rental car through Hotwire recently. Then, a few days later I booked another car for the same dates by mistake. I tried to cancel one of the bookings and request a refund. Hotwire refuses. Obviously, I can't drive two cars at the same time. Their system shouldn't allow someone...
Marriott cancels Cindy Tomlinson's reservation at TownePlace Suites New York/Chelsea but won't rebook her at another hotel. Was it something she said?

A representative said they could honor my reservation at the SpringHill Suites Times Square South and that I should contact the hotel. I tried calling the hotel...
My name is Jessica. I am 25 and my boss is 47. I was wondering if it is inappropriate for me to have a personal, friendship-level relationship with him. My boss says he is there if I need him, and he almost always is. He emails me electronic greeting cards for every occasion. We often talk to each other via email and text. I have been out with him and some others for a goodbye party for his secretary, and I enjoy his company very much. He is a bit of a womanizer though. He left his first wife,...

I would like to ask you about alienation of affection. Is there such a law? How hard is it to prove, and what are the penalties? I have been married four years and recently caught my wife cheating on me. I forgave her and tried to work things out, but unfortunately she moved in with her lover. They have been together two months. My wife is from Russia, and I believe she used me just to get her green card. Mutual friends have told me so. I have considerable property. Can I get an annulment? If I...
When Kristen Nelson cancels her trip to Iceland in 2020, the refund for her rental car is frozen. The car rental company wants her to accept a credit. Can it do that? I'm trying to get a full refund from Iceland Car Rental for our trip to Iceland in August 2020 that was canceled because of COVID. At the time we booked the rental, in March 2020, they offered a "100 percent money back" guarantee. We notified them to cancel our reservation as soon as our flight was canceled, in July 2020. Can you...
When Gloria Lenoir returns her merchandise to eBay, the company doesn't refund her $29 and closes her case. How does she get eBay's attention? I recently bought two tubes of Voltaren, a pain medication, through eBay. I paid $29 for the product but decided I could not use it. I tried to return the product, but the seller did not respond. eBay provided a USPS shipping label so I could return the item. I returned the item to the seller about a month ago but I did not get my refund. When I tried to...
I am a "young" 52-year-old woman living with a man who is very successful in business. He is five years my junior, and we have a history. We were together 15 years ago before I walked out. Since then he has married and divorced, and was involved with another woman for four years. He says she is now just a friend, but I called her and she tells a different story. She wants him back. To add insult to injury, I find out he has been in touch with his ex-wife who lives an hour away. After living toge...
Why won't Ticketmaster refund Barbara Davenport's VIP tickets to the Lady Gaga show? It claims she missed her window for requesting a cancellation. But she didn't. Q: I bought VIP tickets for a Lady Gaga concert in New Jersey, but the event was postponed twice because of COVID. No new date has been set. Ticketmaster sent me an email that said I could have tickets to the new concert or a full refund. I asked for a refund, but now Ticketmaster is refusing. I'm 68 years old and have been diagnosed with long-haul COVID. I don't feel I will be able...
Steven Meisel paid Aurora Expeditions a $5,000 deposit for an Antarctic tour back in 2019. Then the pandemic happened. Can he get his refund now? In 2019, I booked a trip to Antarctica through Aurora Expeditions, an Australian company. I reserved the tour through Expedition Trips, a Seattle-based travel agency. I made a $5,000 deposit and the trip was scheduled for late 2020. Of course, all of these trips were canceled because of COVID. Aurora rescheduled the trip for November 2021, and we agreed to accept the reschedule. But since that time,...
