Where will you go first?

If I could go soon it would be Malta. If we get a spell of good weather here first im very tempted by Greenland

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.

Italy for my honeymoon....I was due to go April 2020...

Think when all this is over I’ll book us in and treat myself to a stiff one at the Snowdonia bar at Butlins; Pwllheli.

Well I am abroad (Switzerland) for thirty years... but due to health, have been isolating for the best part of a year.

At this stage I’d settle for being able to walk the 100m or so to the local restaurant of an evening, order a coffee or a beer and play a game of cards with the neighbors as we used to do.

Just go if you haven't already, meet outside or sit in your car with the heating on and socially distance.

Nothing is worth that.

Vice Versa obviously that they could do the same with you.

I know restrictions are there for a reason but nothing is worth that.

Anywhere non essential that's more than 5km away sounds marvelous these days.

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'll see ye' all in the KitKatClub!

I will come and give you all hugs. Even the people i have argued with on here.

Ireland. Haven’t been home since September ‘19. It’s killing me now.

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.

What kind of engineering? Eindhoven is probably the place for you.

What's stopping you? There's zero enforcement on public transport in the Dublin area.

I will do a grand tour of central Europe.

Dublin for some heroin soup.

I would say not being the cause of someone’s sickness or death within sight of finishing line is worth it.

Imagine having to explain to one of the grandkids that grandma/grandpa died because you could not wait a couple of months until they had the vaccine!

Vietnam. Absolute mayhem and fun - for a few days of cheap drink and eye-opening havoc, before another few days luxuriating at one of those beach resorts where you just kick back and relax totally. A culture-vulture rail trip around Italy either. Like many here though, a pint in my local would be bliss.

FishOnABike

To the beach the first day there's any half decent swell. It's just teasing me at the moment. I'm less than 5km from the coast but more than 5km from the nearest surf spot. So near and yet so far.

Before Covid I had trips to Tirana, Marseilles, Glasgow and a Caribbean (cruise) booked so I'll hopefully pick up where I left off when it's safe to do so. I only took 4 days annual leave last year and I have no plans to use any more before the leave year rolls over again so I will have a whole load of it to use for when I can actually go somewhere again. Would love to head to Japan and Colorado as well.

They would seem to be very different places. At least to me. You must be a very interesting traveler.

Maybe maturity, responsibility, concern for other people and one’s community, the things adults are supposed to do....

If that does not work, maybe the fact that we have no idea of an long term consequences of having had this virus may be and avoiding it for a few more months might be a good idea...

Adults should not need supervision, they should know in a dangerous situation you take the minimum risk necessary not the maximum one available.

Feel for you, we booked ours for San Francisco the Saturday following 9/11, so postponed it for a year

I'd love to head to Colorado. Start in Denver and make my way to some of the Rocky Mountain towns there. I lived in the Canadian Rockies for a while and it was the most lovely place. I haven't seen much of the US Rockies though, I've been to some of the mountain towns in Montana but I'd love to check out some of the ones in Colorado.

Thank you!

Hopefully next Christmas back to Ireland. Surprise the mother and just show up.
And if I can swing it after that a week in Cuba or mexico

SeaMermaid

Connemara - for a hooley at the Station House and to take in some spectacular views of Connemara.

PhilOssophy

See my parents who are more than 5km away. Give my mother a hug.
Its the small things.
Anything after that is a bonus.

Short term, Berlin and Ibiza.

Long term, Thailand.
