2022 Travel Plans

ill · Mar 22, 2022

So I have a couple

Puerto Rico with family in April...second time going to San Juan and looking forward to it. Great place.
Lakeland, FL in May for a wedding and golf
Maine for a wedding in June
Maybe Western NY in July to visit a friend

that's all right now...at least all I can think of. I need to tack a real vacation to all that at some point.

My wife and I are trying to decide.

As much as I want to go to Europe (England and Germany) I'm also tempted to stay closer to home. Our thinking is that with the time and money we'd save over going to Europe, we could do closer-to-home travel in luxury.

I also really want to go to Southeast Asia and the Philippines.

Delta had some business class awards JFK- FRA for 39,000 points. Not sure how many left or dates.

Vietnam pretty open, Thai restrictions still a bit of a mess. Singapore open to vaccinated, no test required.

Phillipines still requiring 48 hrs RT-PCR test. Indonesia has the same requirement.

If traveling, just check local restrictions. Some require downloading and registering on their local health site. A few others also require covid medical insurance.

I just heard on the radio that because of money problems, most Americans polled say they are changing or cancelling travel plans. I wonder what impact this will have on travel prices? I'm starting to plan to go see family in Romania now.

I'm sure some will be but a lot of international travel is being slammed due to pent up demand. Atleast in the dive/snorkel world. It was like the dams burst.

Thank heavens the Chinese are still bottled up, should make the Pacific more enjoyable.

So far, tickets to Asian/Pacific area have risen a pretty good bit.

I've been abroad all my life. Sorry, couldn't walk by that opportunity.

Amazing things to see out there. Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Safari in Africa. Historical buildings and castles in Europe. The Great Pyramids. Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Petra in Jordan.

We dive and snorkel so most of our time is spent looking underwater. Amazing sights there as well.

I’m a history buff. So I really want it for the history. My wife. Not so much. She would be bored out of her mind

Of course, the history in Europe are worth seeing. And Egypt is just stunning, from Cairo to Luxor and to Abu Simbel.

Italy is awesome.

The wife can always shop or spa.

My husband hates to travel, so I just head out on my own. He's fine with that.

Upstate NY in July. Airfare was nuts, most I've ever paid to fly there by far.

Daughter and I headed out in Dec. To Bali via Singapore. Couple days diving/snorkeling on the east coast of Bali. Then flying to Sorong to catch a 12 day liveaboard thru the Coral Triangle and Raja Ampat. Hopefully back by Christmas.

May take a quick 4 day down to Blue Heron Bridge for a quick dive/snorkel trip.
