PMI booked for October, DFW, AUS, and CVG in November.
Then we'll see if I manage to re-create my first proper TP run that was booked for May but was cancelled and is now in the process of being refunded. GOT/HEL/LHR/BOS/LAX/DFW/CVG/DFW/LAX/JFK/LHR/HEL/GOT
Phew!

We’ve a few trips planned for 50th birthdays and 25th anniversaries- so hoping that we’ll br able to keep at least one of them.
first one has already been mucked about with several times. Was due to be a twin centre at LED and DME, then when BA pulled LED it became a triple centre starting at HEL, now they’ve also pulled HEL we’ve got flights to/from DME and planning on booking an internal flight to LED to go back to the original itinerary.
following that we’ve a weekend in OSL to see (don’t laugh) a-ha in concert.

Madrid.....I was supposed to go on the Friday before the weekend when it started to go really bad in Spain. It was to be my first ever visit to the city and it was also to be my first journey as a silver having reached the milestone for the first time in 15 years. As a friend said to me "Madrid will always be there"

Escaped from AUS on 19 March, yesterday should have arrived on Con Dao, an island south of Ho Chi Minh but currently in lockdown in GVA . First trip will be back to SYD and CNS but am thinking it will be Sept/Oct at the earliest s and haven't begun looking at flights.

For me, waiting to see if a weekend in Switzerland is possible late August then Perth in October, Langkawi late October, Toronto November then Hawkes Bay for Christmas.
Hoping Perth onwards happens, but if not will have to rebook in order for as soon as possible. For me it's just about travelling places I haven't seen/been. A week into lockdown here and I'm sharply reminded of why I prefer travelling to being 'at home'.

Second is most certainly an all-inclusive resort in Turkey, no visa needed for my Thai partner and daughter.
I hope our flight tickets on Thai Airways can be rescheduled, otherwise a Turkish flight Bangkok to Brussels with a one-week stopover in Turkey for the all-inclusive resort.

I'm booked to Tel Aviv followed by hiking in Switzerland in July. I have my doubts on that one, but fingers crossed. Getting to Canada to see my parents will also be high on the list. While I could go now if I needed to, 14 days of enforced quarantine first makes that a bit impractical.

As for the haircut...the temperature is going to start to rise very soon as summer will be upon us...and I'm going to need one...
My electric razor has a pop out trimmer attachment and the fact of the matter is that I will simply shave my head in about 6 weeks time if the lock down continues.
They'll be a lot of silly hair cuts out there soon

The shop was refurbished and modernised recently, and lost a lot of its character in the process. 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!

Home to Manchester, looking forward to being in my own home and this current international nightmare being behind us, although is suspect it will be rather strange feeling being post-Covid.

I’d just like to come home, to NCL preferably.
I work on an oil tanker in the Caribbean and due to immigration restrictions and lack of flights I’m stuck here for the foreseeable.
However for now I’m safe and healthy here and that’s a priority and something so many are unfortunately unable to say.
May this horrible pandemic start to disappear soon and normality return!
Holiday wise, another trip to the US is in my plans, most likely next year now to go to several baseball games across different states!
Stay safe flyer friends!
