Irrationally annoyed when people say it’s so easy to travel abroad

[Lemons1571]

This is really getting my goat at the moment. But accept I’m probably jealous which plays a part.

Double jabbed adults testing negative, returning to the uk from their European holidays and declaring “really, it’s so eeaaassyyyyy, you should do it, it’s made to sound soooo difficult but really it’s a piece of piss”.

Well, we have 3 kids.

One (under 12) is still testing faintly positive despite having had covid weeks ago.
One (16) is single jabbed but not allowed a second jab by the uk government, so therefore treated by Europe as unvaccinated and not allowed in restaurants etc in France.
The third child is unvaccinated, but in the 12-15 age group where a lot of Europe expect him to be double vaxxed.

So, forgive me in thinking that no, for us, it really wouldn’t be “eeaaassyyyyy”, and would in actual fact be a fucking nightmare.

AIBU?

It's not so bad if you've only got one child but I can imagine the more you have the more of a headache it is. I don't think I could be bothered if I had more than one.

It’s probably easy unless one of you tests positive while out there and can’t travel home then the relaxing holiday becomes a nightmare. Lots of the more senior staff in my office are travelling to Greece and Spain right now and it’s making me jealous but with 3 dc I’m not going to risk it. Doesn’t mean I’m not yearning for a trip abroad.
