Where will you go first?

When this neverending **** show of a pandemic eventually exits stage left, and we are once more allowed to depart this soggy Isle of mediocrity. What will your first destination be?

For us in the boot house we can't wait to get back to Efteling in the Netherlands, magical place, like Disney but darker, more European and not as much of a ripoff.

Can't wait to hit up Berlin again, was there just before this **** all hit, only scratched the surface, need to see more.

Then the obligatory sun holiday to somewhere pleasant cheap and likely Spanish.

Edinburgh. It is a city I worked in and visited regularly. I don't want to do anything wild. Just visit my favourite restaurants/coffee shops/parks/even travel on the bus route that took me to work.

Id like to even visit me mates up the country at this stage

Well I had to cancel my trip to Singapore/Malaysia and Thailand thanks to covid so maybe there

I can't pick just one place. I want to go everywhere and do everything all at the same time.

Getting out will be like Logun’s Run!

Amsterdam, this Covid dry spell is a pain.

Maybe fly to Spain then for some sun.

Sun holiday. Laze by a pool with some cocktails and a book

The first destination that pops up on Ryanair.com

Second Berlin. An absolute fantastic city I never get tired of. Usually visit each summer. Amazing nightlife as is Amsterdam. I may even decide to move over to Berlin or Amsterdam to look for employment.

Interrailling Europe again is also on my list. Would love to see Serbia, Croatia and Italy by train.

I've got tickets to:

* a four day festival outside Amsterdam that is nominally the end of June but will be rescheduled imminently to the end of summer
* a two day festival in Utrecht that is scheduled for September
* a gig in Manchester that is scheduled for September

Whichever of those I can actually go to will probably be the first trip away.

Bray. I'm not even joking.

suicide_circus

Go and see family on the continent.

Mam of 4

Go see son , his partner and granddaughters . So near and yet so far , about fifteen miles away

ShyMets

To the boozer

Day Lewin

Town, and real shops.
Then family, to hug my loved ones.
Then pub and restaurant
Manicure, pedicure
HAIRCUT!!
Then travel in Ireland, camping with friends, parties in houses -

Sun holiday, sure; but not as essential for happiness as mingling with my friends and offsprings.

Would love to move to Berlin but unfortunately am in non-software engineering and it's weirdly the one spot in Germany where it's a bad fit. Netherlands is a definite runner though, liked the look of that a lot.

There's a few festivals in Europe posting serious line ups for this year Rock am Ring, Nova Rock etc. I think it's a bit fanciful tbh. Still have last years tickets for Green Day in the RDS and that won't be happening this summer either. Who knows, maybe our more pragmatic cousins in Europe will move on with things a bit quicker.

Back to Ireland (and UK) to visit family. Almost a year and a half since I've seen my parents, sister and the rest of the family.

I'm not going to book anything too expensive to start with while we're still coming out of this thing and it's changeable, but there is a coastal path around the Wales and if tourists were allowed I'd like to go cycling around it later in the year. Maybe a few days in Cardiff tool.

I was gonna say Bray. I'd love to just take the dart out there and hike up the hill and go to the Harbour Bar. With covid restrictions, you can understand why these places were holiday destinations before we were a rich country and cheap airlines.

Whereabouts in Wales is it? I wouldn't mind cycling or walking it myself.

Glasgow. I have only been able to visit my dad's side of the family one time since he died - I was planning to visit a hell of a lot more often until this all happened. I also want to visit a buddy of mine up in Galway. A relaxing pint in a local pub, having pointless conversations about pointless shyte -- that's all I want.

Nearly the whole way around. 870 miles. You could do whatever part you want.

I can't believe nobody on AH suggested it already, so my first destination will be .......................... Wuhan.
I intend to take a bat to a bat.

I'll hit Bali for two weeks before returning to work in China.

Straight to the airport and on to see my family. I am going to hug every one of them for hours - especially my dad and gran, whether they want me to or not.

I want my baby to meet the other side of his family, I'm sure he thinks they live in the screen or phone. On the way to the airport I might drop by the pool and swim until I can't anymore.

Then I want to meet up with friends I haven't seen and miss terribly.

Then I want us to have the honeymoon we didn't have, and I'm happy to go almost anywhere for that.

Then I want to have an overnight away by myself, as I haven't been alone for a single moment for almost a year now and I miss me.

I don't care where I go, I just want to know I can go anywhere.
