I'm afraid the three years of covid scuppered our travel plans well and truly , as it must have done for many people our age .
We're both in our early 80s and previously traveled to Europe twice a year . Once in the spring then in the autumn. I did all the planning , booking hotels etc . We always took the car and DH always drove .
We didn't do much local travel during covid and now DH is adamant that he doesn't want to do long drives anymore - not even in the UK . I have suggested coach trips, SAGA , cruising , flying but he's adamant that's it , as far as holidays are concerned.
I do drive , and have my own car but I wouldn't want to drive on the continent. DH doesn't like being driven and the indrawing of breath coupled with the rigid body next to me , is enough to shatter my confidence.
I wouldn't want to go without him as we enjoy one another's company and exploring new places together . So I'm stuck ๐
Neither of us caught covid . I have RA and we have both had six vaccinations , so considering so many died and/or became very ill , I guess it's churlish to moan . But !
