Anyone arriving from Ireland can enter UK without Quarantine.

Are you ready to board a flight yet? What about in 3 to 4 months from now?

Part of me says live your life and go to The Villages in a few months. Part of me says do a staycation this year. :undecided:

Above all DO NOT LET FEAR RULE YOUR LIFE. I SPENT A YEAR of my life in a malaria infested jungle. I followed the guidlines and took pills. Also, for a year i was dodhing bullets until a few found a home in my body. If i let fear take hold i would not be here. We have only ONE life do not live that life in fear.
Fear knows a point of diminishing returns, fear turns into ANGER, soon after anger fear turns from anger to RAGE and rage is uncontrolable.

Just returned for San Juan visiting grand kids for 2 weeks. Tickets were $35 each way, couldn't resist. Had great time and zero problems. Only live once

Of course, the corollary is, you only die once. I'd rather wait much longer for the latter.

Very clever. I haven't heard that one before. Going to use that myself. I was going to pull weeds or mow the grass but I got covided. I know you wanted me to go to the store. I would have but I got covided. :1rotfl:

Have taken two Florida vacations recently and enjoyed them. It's nice to live in a state that has so many destinations you can get to driving a few hours. But the only way to travel distances quickly is by flying which is now on the agenda. Can't wait.

Would like to fly out west and rent a car and drive back seeing a bunh of national parks/

Problem is we are concerned about flying, safely staying in hotels and venturing into restaurants we do not know.

As a result looks like we are staying put for next few months.

I have flown several times since this mess. No issues and not the least bit of worry or concern. Side note: I’d gladly pay more to always have the center seat open. I’m aware it’s a losing business model, but I can dream.

That's Great !!!

My wife and I are VERY FREQUENT fliers due to my business which includes flights to South Korea, Japan, Guam, Taiwan, and other places. We constantly get updates from our main airline co (Delta) on what they're doing to help and we're satisfied. Eliminating the middle seats, new air cleaning systems, extensive cleaning, and very few fliers compared to 6 months ago helps. They're also limiting any distribution of food PLUS the flight attendants are wearing masks.
BTW, we're leaving next Weds for Michigan, then again to Michigan in July and Oahu in July and August and finally Germany in December.
This is just MY opinion and "opinions" can't be wrong, can they? As our attorney says "you're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts

I think that is is great that you are willing and ready to travel in the manner you describe!! Go for it!
….just two questions:
If any of your destinations require that you self quarantine for 14 days before venturing out into the general population, are you going to comply with that directive?
If you are requested to wear a mask while travelling onboard a public vehicle, are you going to comply with that directive?

Good questions, I believe in Hawaii they have arrested tourists who did not quarantine.
