Where To?

Hi Everyone

Fast Forward a few months, the vast majority have been vaccinated, the World has opened up, and holidays are up and running again (We can hope)

Where are you going first? .................................................. ....Carol

I love your optimism Carol. Total world population is 7.8 billion.

The world I don't think will 'open up' until 2nd half of 2022. At current rate of vaccination in USA it will take them over 1 year to complete the process. OK |I am building in a contingency or hiccups!

A land trip to Italy first (if allowed).

It will be at least a year before the world has opened up.

A few months most likely limited to local regions for us that will be Europe.

Seen a couple of NCL Iceland that look good

Primary criteria will be getting together with cruise friends on a ship we can all go on(multi national group) NCL and X sit at the top of the list.

I've already booked a trip to Scotland at the end of April, which could be cancelled, then a trip to the Manchester area in May, which could also be cancelled. I 'm banking on my July cruise because it is Round Britain and hopefully most of us will have had the vaccine by then.

Failing that, Christmas in the Canaries.

A villa with family on one of the Canary Islands is first on my agenda. I do have a couple of cruises booked for later this year and early next, we shall see.

I won't be booking until we get the thumbs up though ............................................Carol

Hi Jill

You may have to rethink April??

I am booked on Odyssey in April, but am becoming less and less confident that the ship will sail then. A train trip to Twickenham to stay with family would be great.

Isn't it strange the only UK country not under Stay At Home order is England and the home nation country with the highest infection rate is England?? Beggars belief!

Yes Annie, I'm guessing we won't be welcome for a while yet- oh well.

[sandraggg, Newcastle]

I'd like to go on a Princess cruise up the Norwegian coast. We were going to do that cruise in 2020 but it was cancelled.

At one time I was hopeful about this for 2021, but now I'm not.

I'd go on any cruise itinerary, provided I could get off in the ports and explore without an excursion.

We have been told to stay at home, but between work, caring for elderly parents, shopping.
On top of that, getting people to the Doctors for their jabs (more queues) It's not that easy to do .................................................C arol

But doesn't Scotland's stay at home order allow unlimited out door exercise? Not much different to what we have already is it? Additionally, Scots are allowed to meet one other person out doors. We have that already. BJ is on TV tonight at 8.00 pm so we'll see. Looking at graphs of the increase in infections, it all started in Sept. when schools and universities went back. Too much of a coincidence, surely? They all need to be shut now.

I admire your optimism, but nothing much will have changed in a few months. The vast majority will still be waiting for a vaccine, and the world won't have opened up. Ask me the same question in 12 months. I can't even think about holidays at the moment. Still trying to get my money back for last year's

Explain to me then why English tourists are visiting Wales and Scotland - we are not allowed to cross our border. I am restricted to my council district area.
