Wow congratulations sister!
Not sure if Aus/NZ will be allowing in tourists any time soon. Jordan is a bit over rated esp Petra but Turkey is amazing.

Last year, I had our plans all booked for family vacation trip NZ, and also watch T20 WC in Australia but Covid ate that for us.
Toured Turkey before Covid, and stayed a few days each in Istanbul, Cappadocia, Konya and Izmir.
Planning to take the trip again and visit Trabzon, Fethiye and Kaş.
A Trip to Pakistan is also overdue, and I would like to visit Cape Town again.
Lets see which one takes the precedence.

Lol brother here . I guess wrong choice of words. I meant carrying our 3 month Olds and traveling .
Thanks anyway.
Yeah like I said, don't see us traveling overseas for 2 years only when things are back to normal .
Jordan's more off my wife's list, for some reason that's on top of her list . Turkey I would want to spend 2 weeks and explore. Have you been to Morocco ? Would you recommend?

Even when they are lifted in the UK things are just too unstable to consider travel and you want to avoid being stuck in a foreign country. Ignoring that, Indonesia, Malaysia or Turkey would be nice.

There are so many museums in England, too many to list. But the must visits are Natural History Museum, British Museum & Science Museum. There is one near Birmingham called the Black Country Museum, it feels like going back into history, even the shop sells old sweets, fun place.

In terms of worldwide artefacts I dont think any other country comes close, reason being GB colonised so much of the world, hence the looting. Some include the Rosetta stone, Egyptian Mummies, Aztec pieces, Greek, Indian, the list goes on. Not everything is looted but even so UK wont be giving anything back to those nations, not in our lifetime.

Iceland.
But my wife wants to do UK, France and Italy. I suspect I am going to lose this battle with my wife but it would be great if I can convince her to come to Iceland.

I live in Australia and I’m over 50 so I only got the AstraZeneca jab, which is ineffective against the South African variant.
As soon as the border opens for outward travel I will fly to Hawaii to get my two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, which will be for sale over the counter by then.
My first holiday will be Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. I can’t really visit family in the UK until I’m Pfizer’d - AstraZeneca is not effective enough to make it safe.

Quite a few people who visited Jordan rate a visit to Wadi Rum a lot higher than Petra.
And now they even have air conditioned dome/tents type hotel in Wadi Rum.
Folks say, the experience is unparalleled to anything in Jordan.

I don’t think you need to”buy” pfizer vaccine in USA.
As of last week, it’s open and free to ALL who are in USA.
Matter of fact, a report recently published indicates that
“Vaccination rate coming down now. Issue now is not enough vaccine but not enough people willing to vaccinate.”

No favorite team. I Just watch as a casual fan, mostly the Champions League.
I have only been to one football match in my life, but unfortunately it was an MLS match many years ago. So it would be amazing to see a match in England

How was it going through Tel Aviv? Do you get extra hassle being a Muslim? What about Pakistani?
BTW i always found this assuming that Pakistan passport is valid for all countries in the world except Israel.

Going through Jordan or Tel Aviv is similar they make you wait.
They ask you questions why you come, where you staying etc.
On rare occasions they ask about what you do , where you pray , where you give charity etc.
From minimum 2 hours to 6 the longest been made to wait, if you with kids or family then process is quicker and you get your visa straight away.
Yes Pakistani passport holders need to apply beforehand visa from the embassy, Yes officially Pakistan does not recognise Israel so not allowed to visit.

Will speak to Indian taste which is same as Pakistani food.
I thought that UK had best Desi food outside subcontinent and then found out that their Desi food is very different to my tastebuds.
Wherever I went to dine in Indian or Pakistani , I found the cooks were Bangladeshis.
The food seemed so bland and tasteless probably to make it more palatable to UK tastes. Maybe I didn tgo to right places but then they all advertised themselves as authentic Indian or Pakistani
IMO, Dubai is very close to Desi food outisde India

It can be hit and miss, lots of Indian sounding restaurants in the UK are in fact Bangladeshi. Okay if you like it, but if you want Pakistani/North Indian food then you need to know where to look. Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford are well catered. Actually there are loads of options in London as well, but you need to know which ones are which. Those who live in the UK already know the right ones.
OT: I was planning on going to Turkey again last year, been a few years since I went, and if it's open I will probably go there before anywhere else. California will be next if you can get through the airports without too much delay.

In no particular order, I have planned these vacations for the next 5 years. I will be flying from Calgary, most likely:
2 weeks trip:
1) Japan, Korea
2) Australia, New Zealand
3) Peru, Bolivia
4) Belgium, Russia, Hungary, Prague
5) Egypt, Jordan
1 week trips
6) Hawaii, USA
7) Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, USA
8) Florida, Puerto Rico, Barbados, St. Lucia, Haiti, St Marten (via cruise)
9) New Orleans
10) San Francisco, Utah
I typically get 3-4 weeks a year vacation time along with 2 weeks flex days. Maybe I can use flex days for North American vacation and vacation time for world vacation. I got a very popular travel page on Instagram and hopefully some deals can be inked in a couple years time with some hotels.
In between I may visit UAE, Pakistan too, depending on cousins’ weddings.
Very ambitious plan, but then this is the age to travel, I doubt I would travel as much when I am in my 60s.

Well he's the greatest contribution of my state to the world. It's actually a running joke among tamils and we often say that it's time to apply for citizenship to Kailasa to escape from all the troubles happening in the world. Swami Nithi ji even has Tamil as one of the official languages of the mysterious country. So I might not need to struggle with my lack of hindi vocabulary in the new country and will feel right at home in the spiritual land of Kailasa.

I used to have quite a fantasy with the idea of seeing Aurora in the Northern Hemisphere, may be things have changed for the better but it used to be quite a challenge.
You would be camping in tents in super cold and snowy weather in the middle of nowhere, and wait for hours in dark nights for it to happen.
May be some day I may go for it, but for now, some youtube videos do it for me.

Oh no. BC was contemplating it but they didn't. The small picturesque towns thrive on tourists so there is no way they can close it. AB is open completely, and Banff/Jasper is looking for Canadian tourist flocking this summer. It is open 100%. My parents are coming this week as well.
You need atleast a week for AB and another week for BC (assuming you would be going till Vancouver/Whistler).

<b>BBC — Covid: Travel misery for tens of thousands with flights cancelled.</b>
Tens of thousands of airline passengers have been hit by the grounding of thousands of flights as a surge in Covid cases causes staff shortages.
At least 7,000 flights have now been cancelled since Friday and over the Christmas weekend, according to the FlightAware data tracking website.
Chinese and US airlines appear to be the hardest hit, with further delays and cancellations announced for Monday.
Companies say the cancellations are due to airline crews testing positive.
Staff who have not tested positive but have been in contact with those infected are then being forced to self-isolate.
Recorded Covid cases are rising sharply around the world, largely driven by the Omicron variant.
Despite early findings that Omicron is milder than other coronavirus variants, scientists are concerned by the sheer number of infections being recorded.
On Sunday, more than 1,800 flights were cancelled - over 560 of which were to or from US airports, according to FlightAware.
The worst-hit US companies are Delta, United and JetBlue.
United warned earlier that a spike in Omicron cases had "had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation", adding that it was contacting impacted passengers in advance of them coming to the airport.
Omicron now is the dominant strain in the US.
However, the most affected single airline appears to be China Eastern with more than 390 scrapped flights on Sunday.
The airport in the northern Chinese city of Xi'an has reported more than 100 flight cancellations.
More than 13 million people in Xi'an have been recently ordered to stay at home as authorities attempt to tackle a Covid outbreak there.
Heathrow Airport in London has seen 60 flights cancelled on Sunday so far.
Nearly 5.4 million people have died with coronavirus worldwide, according to America's Johns Hopkins University. There have been more than 279 million confirmed cases.
