As soon as France opens up, headed to Villa la Coste for a month, and then hope to try the Cheval Blanc in Paris.
I'll head to SF in July and try the new Four Seasons.
EoY--September looking like Italy. November will be Israel. December/NY-Mexico City.
Crossing fingers this all works out.

Happy to hear that all worked well and you enjoyed Ett Hem.
USA for the summer, in your specific case, sounds like one of the better plans IMHO.
Unfortunately when it comes down to France, I would not have high hopes to be able to travel any time soon. I am sure you have read the newspapers and the current preference for domestic travel. Even home owners in the South of France are still being denied entry to the country. There have been some signals that these people would be allowed to at least travel for 72 hours in order to secure/check on their homes but nothing officially announced yet. So IMHO chances for intra EU/Schengen tourism travel to France in the upcoming weeks will be very low.
Anyway, it seems that you were planning Italy sooner or later. Just my 2 cents, but why not switch and head to Italy before July and then keep France (fingers crossed) for just after summer? Italy does plan to open borders for EU/Schengen tourism as of June 3. We are all still eagerly awaiting any kind of T&C's but at least Italy at the moment has a better perspective on the short term than France (when it comes to reopen EU tourism).
Talking about Italy, and I know he will never advertise for himself so sooner or later somebody has to do it
, there's a fellow FT'er who operates a fantastic high end B&B in Tuscany:
Lupaia | Home . I have visited (so did others in this thread) so I would encourage all EU travel addicts to have a closer look and support this fantastic property. Super quiet, excellent service and located in a country that is actually starting to encourage travel.
