I went to Gibraltar in May. It was so long since I had set foot on an airport that I was mega excited (even though I was going to a funeral)

Road trip in the car from the Midlands through to south of France, over to Switzerland and then back home last summer. It was fab!

I had to go to Spain in May 2020 to solve a family problem. Back then the airport in my Spanish hometown was closed, only 5 airports in Spain were open, so I had to fly to Madrid and take the high speed train. There were fewer services and I missed my train and had to wait at the station for hours. Left my home in London at 4am GMT and got to my parents’ in Spain at 9pm CET. Coming back was also via train plus plane but a shorter journey as the connections “worked”.
Since then I’ve travelled to Spain, Italy and Ireland but that one was the longest. And the most stressful as covid-travel was very “new”.

4 hours to Filey. 2.5 hours to Bath. Not major distances and only twice x

Took ds4 to a hospital appointment in nearest city, about 1.5 hours drive away. Nearly had an ambulance ride with ds2 to icu in the same hospital but thankfully he stabilised enough to go to hdu in our local hospital.

Planning to travel to DP’s home country as soon as they remove/reduce quarantine for people coming from the UK. Can’t wait.

About an hour away for a walk. Our family live in a different country.

BunsyGirl · 22/08/2021 05:18

About 2000 miles…to Malta. Aside from wearing masks and showing our vaccine certs on arrival, everything was pretty much back to normal in the airport.
