So, I'm on my honeymoon. We've been here for three weeks, one left to go. We're in the Caribbean, on a relatively untouched island. Masks and things, but otherwise life is pretty normal. It's beautiful, hot, the people are lovely.
I'm self-employed, husband started working with me earlier this year after being made redundant. We're doing okay. It's slowed a bit while I've been off work, but that was to be expected.
I made a drunken joke a few nights ago about staying for a bit, as the Covid situation in England doesn't seem good, and our area is Tier 2 but very likely to go Tier 3 soon. It didn't really go anywhere... but today he's quite keen!
We can move the flights home for free. Staying would cost a bit, but it's largely affordable. I'd need to work, we'd leave hotels and go into a one-bed holiday let, husband would cook/clean/help me out. We'd likely stay for a month or so. Costs at home are all sorted...
The only real downsides appear to be being further from friends (that in all likelihood I wouldn't meet in person for a while anyway due to them having big families/rule of 6 etc), no break from the sun, and the bite-y insects... I've been bitten quite badly today! And the business pressure, but I'll have that here or at home. We want to move house, so worst case we'd need to supplement business income with savings and then wait a bit longer for the new house...
Would you stay?
