First BA: Probably a TP run and vacation to the USA ( Earliest: Within 2-3 months after BA resumes IST-LHR )
First trip with all carriers: Somewhere else in Turkey ( Earliest: A few days after the travel restrictions end at Turkey )

Almeria for a long weekend at the earliest opportunity,

Then Brazil and Japan - maybe in one trip.

I just hope it's going to be this year!

This past weekend was meant to be a surprise trip to NYC for myself and Mrs Wilsnunn for our wedding anniversary. As that didn’t happen I hope that we can get that scheduled in at some point. She has never been to NYC and I was really looking forward to showing her around!

I have a business trip to Telford, then Germany and Switzerland, and basically everything is on hold until these trips can be done.

Got a trip to Seattle/Vancouver booked in September. Including an Alaska cruise...

​​​Tempted by the HNL TP run but can't quite justify the price at the moment. Wait til I've had a few beers though...

I just want to finally get to Maui, a trip that should have started in exactly one week from now. I have no idea when it will happen.

While waiting for our 4 trips in 2020 to be cancelled (MLA, IAD, ANU, CPT), I guess I look ahead to 2021 with the intention of going for PUJ or CPT [l/h] or MLA [s/h]. Escaping Winter depression would be a prime objective, by going somewhere WARM!

The chocolate is as good as ever, of course, but the experience is no longer anything particularly special. And they must have improved the air-conditioning, as you are no longer hit by the deep aroma of chocolate when you walk through the door!

I've got Oman and Doha booked for October, which hopefully will be going ahead. Other than that, nothing this year.

I have nothing on BA at all booked now. Just a SOF and ATH from last month on Easy that have been moved to October and have taken advantage of the Easy prices for several weekend trips to Gibraltar. If they don't happen i'm not too fussed. The bigger trips I am holding off re booking for now because it is such a pain.

I am very much looking forward to my next pint of London Pride sat in the Gibraltar sun.
