Trip to Georgia cancelled last minute and I don't know what to do

Our take

Hey everyone! I was all set for an exciting week-long family trip to Georgia, but unfortunately, it fell through last minute due to my family's flight cancellations from Thailand. My dad is still willing to go, but the thought of hiking alone just doesn’t feel right. I’m torn between wasting a non-refundable ticket and missing out on time with my loved ones. Has anyone faced a similar situation?

I was supposed to fly this Sunday for a week-long trip to Georgia and meet my family there. They were flying in from Thailand and we planned a hiking trip + nature trip together.

Unfortunately, their flights got cancelled because of the situation in the Middle East. They were able to get a refund, but my brother and sister-in-law don’t have any more days off this year, so the trip is basically cancelled.

The problem is that my flight is still on and it’s non-refundable. My dad already paid for the Airbnbs too, and he asked if I still want to go. He isn't able to get a refund in the first place but can be in other places.

But honestly, I don’t. This was meant to be a family trip and I don’t feel comfortable hiking alone there. At the same time, it feels awful to waste the ticket and lose the holiday entirely.

So now I’m just stuck feeling really disappointed. I was really looking forward to spending time with my family. Another reason of the hesitation is because this was supposed to be a family trip, I wouldn't feel great going alone, and I would probably miss them too much. It wouldn't be as fun.

Not sure if I should still go and try to make something out of it, or just accept the loss and stay home.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?
