After having to cancel and rearrange a few trips over the last 2 years we are going to try and get over to Bruges in Belgium later this year.
Not booking anything until closer to the time just in case.

We were booked for Monday 17th… bottled it this week and rebooked for 9th Feb… driving straight down to SE Spain, then meandering back up as the weather warms up, culminating in two weeks fishing in France last week of April and first week in May… can’t wait!

Is this booked as a result of the changes? ie spontaneous ?

He is 12 so they have only had a single vaccination so considered not vaccinated to travel to most other countries unless they have two. The second is coming but you have to wait 3 months.

We had a trip in Oct/Nov, was looking at going again mid Feb but we will wait and see may delay until April. We normally only book the ferry a week or two before we go.

If we can't get to Spain soon we'll target the Alps for the tour in July.

They can book online the 2nd one and the dates they get are 12 weeks from the first one and need to request a covid pass letter as under 16 do not currently have access to the NHS covid pass apps.

The Stena Ferry tickets I booked back in 2019 have been moved on and moved on.
Same date as before, just now it's 2022!
24 months later to the day.
If we hadn't been booked up for baby sitting, we would be on our way now........ we are now looking at the Pompey / Caen on the 31st, then drive down to Irun and across into Spain....... can't wait !!!

Booked for 17th Feb on the Galicia - Portsmouth to Santander - with a pet cabin. We plan on spending a couple of months in Spain/Portugal before driving slowly back through France.
It feels like an age since the last time we were able to do this.

Spain was cancelled over new year so I think it's time I got my finger out and started organising my 'Band of Brothers' trip.
I do need work to get a bit quieter before I start booking anything though.

- then straight to Party Central where Funsters are already paving the way!

Just trying to work out food stuff to take.

Just to let you know everyone wears a mask in Spain, even walking along the beach promenade. Today in Spain, there were 163,000 cases of Covid, and 139 deaths. In France there were today 332,000 cases of covid, so.....bring your masks, or buy them here cheap enough.

We had a credit with Eurotunnel that ran out on 7th January so have booked for as far in advance as possible. Hoping by September we will be able to travel with pre-Covid conditions but……

The
pointed to the fact that I know that Spain has Covid, but we aren’t hearing as much about them as France, and to maybe lighten the mood.The van is packed with masks, lateral flow tests and everything else Covid related, and we will of course party responsibly, but we intend to enjoy ourselves while we’re there. So the
stays!
