Did you survive the storm?

Mate in Perth said it knocked over 3 patio chairs

Have to be honest old pal - a few trees went over and some lost fences. Well away from us though. Fuck all around our way I am happy to report.

Still overblown (excuse the pun) to fuck as they do with everything these days. Seen a lot, lot worse. This was relatively mild.

Flights to Spain from July 1st. Spain won’t insist on visitors going through quarantine. 
Just need UK to quash their ridiculous quarantine ruling and it’s good-to-go!

No idea if all hotels, bars & restaurants will be open in Spanish resorts. But presuming so.

Depends where you're going and what's open when you get there.

As I intimated earlier in the thread, I'm going on my trip if its allowed.

Harsh, but fair and funny.

We're doing a 5-star all inclusive job, proper restaurants etc, no peasant buffet.

Sun, sea, food & drink. The only negative about it is that it might now be a bit too chilled out. We were expecting needing the rest, but as neither of us have worked for 2 months, we'd probably prefer something less sedate now.

Gonna give Europe a swerve this year

If Manc Airport can convince me that it won’t be a living hell getting through security and on a plane I’ll maybe try somewhere like Dom Rep in Oct/Nov

@Traf hint!!! Punta Cana. You have my details

You're asking the impossible. It was fucking dogshit pre-COVID. 

I do everything I can to avoid flying from Manchester, but I'll get in touch re: Punta Cana.

Manchester has always been a pain, but the last few times we have flown out from there in typically busy times it has been a breeze through bag drop and security.

Still wouldn't like to experience the first few weeks of reopening though.

I’d not be going to any 3rd world shithole while this virus is knocking about myself.

I must admit, I'd be wary of travelling to some of the poorer nations until we at least have a vaccine

Not sure why you’d pick Liverpool as a holiday destination anyways

Instead, you have booked to go to the place with the 5th highest number of deaths in the world.

Aye, but it’s under control in Spain and  healthcare there is excellent, lots of these poorer countries won’t have it under control even though they will say they do and don’t have the health system to look after folk who contract it.

With respect Mounts I wouldn’t say the Dominican Republic is a third world shithole. Granted it’s not a rich or advanced country but you’re a tad unfair imo

Also, like I say I won’t be looking at going anywhere until the back end of the year when hopefully it’s under control

I'll have you know that I once frowned at Francois Mitterand.

[Spider]

Why don’t they just stop the over 60’s from travelling?

Theyre at the highest risk and just clog the fucking airport up anyway whilst they pat their pockets looking for their passports and complain about the price of everything.

And will Spain treat any non-EU citizens if they catch the virus anymore?

I’ll take your word for it as I’ve never been but heard from folk who have and it’s not for me. Obviously you’ll only be able to go if it’s safe. Anyhow hope you can get there and have a great time.

They shouldn't do, but then that's what travel insurance is for isn't it?

Travel insurance isn’t covering Covid.

I’m happy for other folk to test the water first and see how this quarantine plays out 

know plenty who have trips booked in July 

the hotel we go in the algarve is open from July but with restrictions I can’t justify the same money
