I used to think travelling to the USA would be a challenge for me finding adequate travel insurance for health cover with my 1 in a million diagnosis. Never mind my disabling disease. But now that's dwarfed by it just not being a safe place for outsiders to travel to. Detentions at US border prompt UK, Germany, and Nordic nations to revise travel advice.

Incidentally I just noticed on my desktop computer that this year's Worldcon scifi convention (I'm not a signed up member, but get emails due to last year's Glasgow Worldcon membership) emailed re travel concerns a short while ago. This year's Worldcon is in Seattle.

And yes, I know there are bigger problems within the USA for many folks living there.

But from watching outside it's horrific enough.

My blog post about 19th century Scottish passport records held by Edinburgh City Archives and digitised by Ancestry. Musings on their use for genealogists and academic historians. And marvelling at my ggg-granddad's Paris trip.
