I noted a while back that often it seems a region we visit ends up fairly shortly thereafter in open conflict. I could include the recent brief India-Pakistan event. We transited the Straits of Hormuz back in April. It was a night, this was the second time we passed through, both times at night. We were in Israel a couple years back and passed Yemen at that time going into the Red Sea. We had planned a cruise to St. Petersburg just before Russia invaded Ukraine. We also were in South Korea and Taiwan in March.
We might get the Ignobel War Prize.
