No summer hols to speak of this year. Allowing for money to be spent on things like the patio, and pizza ovens and maybe log burners.
However, it has got me thinking about what I really need to do travel wise before I get too old, and that I should really start prioritising some money accordingly.
Wife wants to do NY again. Fine by me- preferably post-Trump though.
I have talked for years about doing a deep south trip. Into New orleans, up the River (preferably in a proper American car without a roof), stopping on the way, trip to the shack up in, and the Clarksdale for the Juke Joint festival. Would be cool to get a little gig or something there- I have a friend who has played there a few times and knows people and places around Mississippi. Might be able to wangle something.
Then I think it has to be Japan. I want to see Japanese gardens and Bonsai, Mount Fuji ,the crazy chaos of Tokyo.
A return to the Maldives will probably need to wait until the kids have left home...
Anyone have must-do trips, and re-focussed on them during this period of being restricted?

Indeed, he had a proper meltdown at me the other day as I said in commenting on a thread that he'd offered a bad example of something which exposed a little bit of ignorance, he took exception to this and got cross that I wasn't keen on engaging with him on any kind of political issue, he then called me a tw@t and claimed I was a bully :')

This is a thread about post covid trips. Its supposed to be positive and inspiring not bitchy. Maybe take it elsewhere? |
Tbf Sparks, I did at first misread the thread header as "post pandemic tripe"!  |  |

We've got Centre Parcs booked for mid September & by all accounts that'll be going ahead albeit with some restrictions in place.
We had found a great deal on an all inclusive in Gran Canaria for next July but we decided against booking at due to the current situation but once things become clearer we will look to get something booked. Also want to get down to Cornwall at some point next year, I've probably not been there for 15 years now which is a shame as I loved going there when I was a youngster. |  |

Are you suggesting that the TWTD forum didn't contain tripe before and during the pandemic? |  |

The post-trump comment I fail to understand, especially when people are more than willing to visit countries with much more unsavoury regimes. Not aimed at yourself. When I was in Cuba last year I found it very amusing that more than one set of Canadians said they wouldn't go to the US with Trump in charge...totally missing the irony of being sat in Cuba with all the blood on the hands of their regime! |  | | |

Ideally I would like to "retire" in the next 3 years. Maybe take a 5 year time out of work (age 55-60).
Trips and plans
Hire a narrowboat for 3 months and basically socially distance myself from the utter madness going on.
Finally visit family in Australia
Retrain into a role that actually gives back to society (accept much lower pay) and not be driven by league table performance and inordinate stress and pressure in the pursuit of profit. |  | | |

When you say 'blood on the hands of their regime' do you mean Canada or Cuba? | |
