Members Latbear4blk Posted June 25, 2021 Members Share Posted June 25, 2021 Some of us are already traveling. But many are waiting for the restrictions and the pandemic emergency to be over. If you have been restraining yourself and cannot wait for being able to travel again, what will your first destination be? Besides voting, would you please share your rationale? Gracias!

Registar Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm torn between Asia (really want to go island hopping) and Mexico (amazing food and even better men) but I'm also resisting the urge to book anything until things stabilise more. Right now living through trip reports - so thanks to you and everyone who has braved travels to keep the rest of us entertained! vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear many good things about the Thai islands (not been) but depending on cost/whatever everyone else decides to do that could easily switch to Mexico Latbear4blk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller123 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hope I haven't skewed the poll. I have voted other because I live in Thailand and can't wait to visit family and friends in the UK vinapu and Latbear4blk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthrieston Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 same same me, Mr traveller123. I haven't been back to the UK since I moved to live in Thailand ten years ago and now I really want to go back for a long visit, but maybe not until late 2022 or the following year.

TMax Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I voted for Asia, Thailand hopefully, I have a lot of lost fun times to make up for and dreaming that we can start traveling soon as possible Latbear4blk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I also voted 'Other'. I would have preferred one selection either being 'Asia' as a whole or adding in 'North Asia'. I live in Thailand and I will be visiting Japan and Taiwan just as soon as it becomes possible. I may also add in South Korea not having been there for about 15 years.

fedssocr Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sadly I don't expect to go anywhere until next year some time. As much as I'd like to go back to Thailand, I think it will probably be Taiwan and South Korea for me. And maybe Japan if they get their act together. I really like Korea a lot. I've spent a couple of weeks in Seoul and several days in Busan in recent years. Seoul is enormous so I've barely scratched the surface.

a-447 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Destination -Japan Rationale- I consider it my home. Before Covid I was a frequent visitor, often just for a few days to catch up with friends and celebrate birthdays, etc with them. I miss them so much! Zoom just doesn't cut it, I'm afraid. Thailand would be second on my list, I think. Lonnie and Latbear4blk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIrishGuy Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Im disgusted to say that my first flight after vaccines and tests etc will be nothing more exciting that Gibraltar - but as that's purely to visit family there I'm pretending ( to myself ) that that doesn't even count as a holiday destination just - mind you I'm that bored and stressed out here in the UK it's ridiculous how much I'm even looking forward to getting away, even if only to there ! vinapu, Ruthrieston and Latbear4blk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcow Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Booked a burning cruise to Alaska for September. Needed to get away but wanted to stay close to home. It’s 100% vaccinated so hopefully feels like the beforetimes. Would rather be on my way to Thailand but soon enough as vaccines start turning things around over there.

Maybe once you've been you'll perhaps remember to come back and drop us all a quick "trip report" lol as to how that went - this time perhaps not so much the "now many guys were available and what the price of a beer was" :-) but more how the cruise handled the whole Covid end of things and was it no masks everywhere on board - or the opposite ! and as to whether you had the nice relaxing trip you'd hoped for or did Covid make the whole thing just a bit to annoying / stressful for you perhaps to bother anyway soon again perhaps?? This being for those of us perhaps thinking of booking a cruise ourselves but waiting to hear how others get on of course.
