Sweet dreams of travelling again

We had our big trip of a lifetime booked. Tour through Canada then Alaska cruise. All cancelled now. We've just been sent vouchers redeemable for 2 years but think we'll most likely use them for a trip a bit nearer home. A river cruise maybe or another visit to Scandinavia. Its hard to imagine going anywhere though. Maybe next Spring? I certainly won't be booking so far in advance again. ?

We had nothing at all actually booked for this year - though a few trips were on the cards, and I have to say I’m not missing going away at all. We were away 6 times last year - U.K. and Europe - and dh had a long haul 7th on his own.

I suppose I ought to feel that I’m getting very boring, being un-bothered about going away, but TBH we’ve travelled extensively over the years and there’s nowhere I yearn for.
I’d still enjoy some lovely warm sea to swim in, though!

We only had two trips within the UK booked. Have rebooked one for next year, the other one we don't know what will happen as it's not till the Autumn. We don't have anything booked for abroad and will not be going abroad till we know more about Covid19. The other thing that needs to be considered is, will other countries let you in? Im very sorry for all those who had trips abroad cancelled, it is a shame. I would keep updated on the Foreign Office website if you hope to travel abroad.

I can't wait to go camping again. Will probably go to North Yorkshire first? We know a lovely little site near Knaresborough.

We've got a weekend coach trip to Chester and Liverpool booked for July. Then more camping and more camping. Do you see a pattern forming . Hopefully the weather will be good otherwise we'll have to replace the camping with coach trips but we won't be able to go as often because they cost more.

CorneliaStreet, ah, I see, I hope next time you won't face these problems!

NfkDumpling, same with me! We used to go camping 2 years ago and planned to start it all this summer. Seems like there will be no opportunity for us this year tho.

Oh, cavewoman Halkidiki. One of my favourite places!

We have a campervan sitting in our drive. She really needs a run out - somewhere remote. Can’t wait for campsites to re-open.

Yes, they didn't like my photo, it was cropped somehow wrong, so I had to send another application and then resend it and so on. I used Passport photo maker from passport-photo-software.com/ then, so it went smoothly last time but we still had to cancel due to Covid-19 ourbreak.

CorneliaStreet, so you had to cancel?? I'm sorryю How did you apply for the visa tho? Did they decline?

Calendargirl, yeah, me too. It would be so upsetting to have to postpone or cancel your trips.
cavewoman, I hope you will visit it!!
PetitFromage, same with me, I just don't want to lose hope but right now it seems like there could be no travelling at all!

I could be in the USA now, I had so much trouble applying for the visa and when I finally applied online, they closed the borders and the whole crisis started. I just hope I will have another opportunity to visit this counrty.

travelling has lost it's appeal.

We were planning to go to New Zealand and Australia, but I think it will be a long time before their borders are open.

We should be going to a quiet little coastal village in Halkidiki for a fortnight in September. Not yet cancelled- but not holding my breath.
I need my annual fix of the Greek Islands

Personally, I’m glad we have nothing booked for the future. Have sometimes had an autumn trip planned by now, so with the way things are will just wait and see how things turn out.

Not desperate to go anywhere really.

Riverwalk, I'm sorry your trip to Tuscany is postponed but I really hope you will be able to go there!
Esspee, maybe it all will be over by November. Why don't you want to go? I think, borders will be opened once the situation is better, so you won't have to worry about it.

We have a tour of Northern India booked for November and I now do not want to go. My OH is adamant that we are not cancelling so we shall have to wait and see how the situation progresses.

This week I should be on a walking trip in Tuscany so eventually hope to achieve this - likely to be this time next year.
