2021 Travel Plans

One thing about being of the "older"(in body)generation,  booking anything but places and time of year that get filled up, is always a bit of a puzzle (not so with this club)as doctors/hospitals appointments can make for short notice alterations

I am through with plans. Our planned trip in October 2019 was postponed as hubby was ill, then our trip for March 2020 was postponed as I was supposed to be having a hip operation, then our trip in October 2020 was postponed because I was supposed to be having the hip operation that was cancelled because of Covid.

When hip is replaced and Covid vaccinations given I will just ring up and see what is available ferrywise as we never book anything else anyway.

I have a cruise booked carried over from one postponed this year apart from this I am keeping my options reagarding foreing travel open. The first hurdle is to keep my C1+E licence but I lean towards touring the north of the UK, something I have not done for quite a while but I will not book anything for this. I just intend to wing it and stop at all maner of sites, wild if absolutely necessary.

We will wait and see what the year brings.

Yes

Nor me. I'm hoping for daytime crossings to and Roscoff without paying for a cabin at all. And that economy tickets bought a few days ahead will be £50 cheaper than Flexi tickets bought months in advance. But I'm not a planner.

Good luck with the new hip whenever it gets done. Had my right hip done in 2010 (March) and I towed for the first time 12 weeks later and we went to France in the September.

We probably won't do anything long haul next year, have quite enjoyed that in February for the last few years. Would love to go back and see more of Mauritius and combine it with Madagascar.

But we have a river cruise - Lyon to Avignon - booked for May and a Greek island hopping jaunt transferred from ...er ... next week to the same time next year. (Ironically,  we could probably have done it this year as it turns out. )

Thanks David. Had the left one done 18 months ago and it was wonderful to be mobile for a couple of months before the right one kicked in. I am so longing to get back to France and Spain and try Portugal but everything come to he, or she, who waits.

Pretty similar to AD, we’ve a crossing to Bilbao booked with Brittany Ferries for next May, returning from St Malo in mid July. Essential the same as we had booked for this year. 
Too early to even think about any long haul trips, but hopefully things will continue to improve, virus wise, and fingers crossed for a vaccine before too long.

We’re off in the van tomorrow for a couple of weeks in East Anglia, should be some good birding at this time of the year.
