Thats looking like a potential option. Going to absolutely break my heart having to tell the kids this though. They both have been obsessed with Paris since they were old enough to talk.

One of the main reasons for this holiday was to motivate and inspire my eldest who is very much the drifter. I've never seen her so passionate about anything like she has been towards this holiday. She is 11 and has literally taught herself enough french that she can hold a decent conversation in the language.


She sounds like she's got a good enough head on her shoulders to also understand that going to France is pretty pointless right now because everything she wants to see will be closed

Not a single drop since. Part of the reason for that was to save money for this holiday as ive always been a binge or nothing kind of guy. Have only eaten at a restaraunt twice in the last twice months as well as like i said i wanted to pay for this holiday with no debt.

I'll be coming up 1 day in about 8 hours, you used to give it a fair nudge, well done.

All the best with it mate, things are going to get worse yet worldwide, whether it's all hype or legit I can see many countries coming to a standstill for a fortnight to isolate everyone for containment.

I'm not overly fussed about it, it seems to only affect the vulnerable, there's many other illnesses that do the same and don't get the airtime.

Agree with you.

We arent fussed about 'catching' it but like you said it seems all but inevitable this going to kick off for a while yet and more countries to coming to standstill.

I think thats what is the most frustrating part is we want to travel, we're not too afraid.

If Europe is off the table mate, and the French speaking is important to the daughter, consider eastern Canada (if it's open for business). All the locals in Montreal, Quebec City etc speak French like you're in France and you're only a short hop away to NYC/Niagara Falls/Washington/Boston/ Philly/Toronto etc.

Cheers Pag.

Me and the partner are going to sit down tonight and talk about back up countries would definitely be happy with the US, Canada, anywhere South America places that the partner hasnt been before.

We may have to consider spending that bit more and think about Norway, Denmark, Sweden which without doing my research seem to be less affected.

I would think the countries closing down early will be the 1st ones to open up again later on?

Its got me ****** my we haven't shut down all travel in and out of the country, ffs we are an island. Surely better to inconvienience a few now than to mess with everyones lives in a month or two

Yeah we leave April 20.

Agree its going to be a case of just getting the timing right for each country. Im kind of hoping it all kicks of right now and get sorted earlier than later.

We may end up having to go Italy as by the time we leave it might be the most 'open' place to go as France is looking to kick off more and its only a matter of time to England feels the brunt of this.

I disagree with shutting the country, we would be ******* up the future of the next generation of children from the recession and financial disaster closing the country would cause all for under 1% of people who will actually catch this.

This, we would have to be the easiest country to contain this crap, Italy had no chance with the amount of ways people could enter their country from so many different modes or directions.

Shits gonna get worse before it gets better, we just need to be smart as a country.

Just make sure you take out that second mortgage first so you can afford the Scando cost of living. ;)

Bad news overnight whufc with the virus getting much worse in the UK and is now officially a pandemic.
My missus has flights booked next month to go over and surprise her brother for his wedding in England but this is now looking less likely to happen.

Yeah most flight cancellations seem to be due to lack of travellers rather than due to being allowed to fly into countries.

I was speaking to a few doctors last night and there seems to be a common thought amongst the medical community that this will get worse for the next month but then get to a point that they realise all contamination efforts are pointless and causing more damage then good such as social, mental, financial.

A lot are predicting everything to go back to normal within 6 weeks.

They did admit they were guessing but they believe it will be similar to the swine flu timeline.

Hoping you're right, whufc, we've got a trip to the US booked for late November/early December.

Honestly i dont think anyones got a real idea of how this will play out and are all guessing but was interesting to hear their point of view. Alot of comparisons can be made to the SARS timeline.

SARS has nothing on this from what I've seen/heard, 60 minutes was interesting viewing on Sunday night, a bit of an eye-opener, experts are suggesting the disease originated from someone eating a pangolin.

The missus has shared the same views as me up until today, now she's hitting the panic button and thinks we're looking at all getting a 2 week lock-down.

It's all a load of absolute wank. I'm happy to have a 2 week lock down at home binging on Netflix though.
