Cancel or not?
My doctor has indicated that I should not take a planned trip (see the Lyon airport thread) because the extremely and unusually high temperatures are likely to make my (declared pre-existing) health issues worse.

ESTA expiry date
Might be going to US soon, checked my travel insurance, that was still fine date wise. Then checked my ESTA it runs out on the day I leave the US.
