I’ve flown a couple times and just had horrid anxiety the whole time. So, I always base my vacations on where I can drive to, and have been all over the states.
this whole pandemic is changing my views on things. My husband and I have spent our non working hours watching all kinds of travel documentaries on Netflix and YouTube. We’ve decided that after Covid is a thing of the past, we’re taking our first big trip as a couple (10 years this October). We’re going to Ireland and Scotland. Big flight but I’m willing to do it. And really I can’t wait. I want to explore all of Europe (never been outside of US) but I think starting in a mostly English speaking place is a good start. I do speak French but don’t know how useful that would be outside of France really. So any tips from those across the pond would be amazing and greatly appreciated!!
so, not a staycation - but genuinely looking forward to a real vacation!!
