With many travel restrictions finally relaxing in early 2022, Gabriele Antoni booked a trip she's been wanting to take for a while: several weeks in her home country of Germany, followed by a 12-day cruise in Norway with friends.The 64-year-old Florida resident and US green card holder hasn't been back to Germany since her mother died in February 2020. At that time, Antoni had to abruptly return to the United States, where she's lived for decades, to avoid border closures as the pandemic gained steam.
