Where do you plan to travel internationally after the pandemic?
First hope is to do a Scotland and London trip in May 2021 (postponed from May 2020)
After that, no firm plans, but I have a lot of places on my list.
Hopefully we’ll pick up where we left off. France for a wedding, Turkey to see family, Greece because I’ve never been there. That’s the “For starters” list, obviously.

New Zealand, North Island.
I was on the verge of booking my flight, rental car and a few hotels right when this all came down. My international driver permit has expired, but my Electronic Travel Authoriization is still good until 2022. Hopefully things will open up before then.
Mexico City. A friend and I were planning a long weekend there in the spring but that all got paused. After that, I need to pick-up the pace and catch-up to where I should have been - I, too, have a lot of places on my list (Vietnam-Cambodia, Norway…)
Barbados during January, if at all possible. To the US to visit my kids. Possibly to Europe.
We have an Egypt Nile Cruise booked for April 2021.
My wife and I have never traveled internationally (from the US). Would you believe this was the year we planned to go to Italy? The money is set aside and we will go when we can but it will be a few years now, for unrelated reasons.
I was planning on going to Borneo in 2021 but I think it’s still too soon to plan/book international traveling. I have my fingers crossed that things will be mostly back to normal 2022 so I hope to go then.
Morocco in April, postponed from 2020. Then Barcelona, the Azores, and I’d like to sandwich a trip to Curaçao in there somewhere.
Once work allows travel again I’ll head back to Bangalore India, and on the trip home I plan to layover in Doha Qatar, unless I"m travelling in the middle of summer.
Drive through Canada, up to Alaska!
Small trips (week or less): Milan and Verona, Dublin, Amsterdam and Islay
Big trips: U.S./Canada and Spain
I’d settle for being able to travel out of my state. I had planned to do at least 3 out of state journeys this year one of which has already been cancelled, the other, in October, probably will be, and the other, around Christmastime, is still up in the air.
I still haven’t seen England as much as I have wanted but I wonder if I shouldn’t go to Rome to see everything since it’s all in one place. In England, I’ve seen everything I really want to see in London, but also want to see High Rocks in Kent*, at least one Cathedral city, at least one Henge site (probably Ayebury), at least one non-mountainous and non-downland rural area, most likely in Devon or Lancashire, and do a crazy golf tour of the south coast (since from Google Street View at least they seem to be more old school than the miniature golf in America), but they are all so disjointed it is hard to make plans to see everything at once. Although I can probably tick two off my list by going to Hastings on the coast and then seeing the battlefield and Battle Abbey which would probably feel like a cathedral city to me.
*Ironically because it reminds me of similar formations in America such as Rock City and Panama Rocks, the latter of which I really enjoyed crawling through the crevasses of in my youth.
Jamaica, mon. It’s my happy place. Been there dozens of times, but it’s been a few years now. Can’t wait to go back when (and if) things get back to “normal.”
Back to the U.K. I miss my friends there
Northern France. I’ve been to 25 towns in southern France, but haven’t done the north, outside Paris.
Looking at a return trip to Iceland. We spent 3 nights there a few years ago with the kids. Ideally they go back to sleepover camp next summer and my wife and I drive the ring road around Iceland for 10 days in July.
Over to the States to visit family, possibly look at some of my old stompin’ grounds in Central Illinois as well.
I have a vacation in Canada all planned for 2020. Rescheduling for 2021. Hope that works!
This very time last year, we were looking to book flights to Sri Lanka, (for one month, then Singapore/Thailand, for another month). We wavered throughout the summer till I announced I wouldn’t go because my dog was old and frail. That dog and I, went through some very difficult times, he def got me through the dark spots! I just couldn’t leave him.
(Had we left then, we’d have been caught up in the whole Covid hits SEAsia, yikes!)
I’m currently watching airlines drop like flies, whole fleets of planes being mothballed, and no light at the end of the tunnel, for tourism in my favourite spots. I am wondering if maybe airfares could double or triple, should we see a prolonged depression type situation. If that were to happen, we may have, unknowingly, already gone on our last SEAsian adventure. That would make my household terribly, terribly sad.
But there’s no denying many forms of travel will be a wildly reshaped thing, after this.
