We like to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries by relaxing in the sun and enjoying time away together.
Our plans to head down to Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, this month had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.
Luckily, we were able to secure a refund from the airline and cancel the hotel without penalties.
Airline travel and vacations to foreign lands are going to look an awful lot different from now on and to be honest I'm not sure we'll be making these sort of trips in the future.
Recently we've been reminiscing about the trip we took to Fuerteventura in October last year, a place we hadn't visited before, to mark the occasion of our 40th wedding anniversary.
Come and take a look...…………………….
What will it be?

So sorry you had to cancel your trip! Perhap you can schedule it agin soon! Have a grand week!
ReplyDeleteIndeed travelling is now a difficult thing. Maybe next Year... we will hope.
ReplyDeleteStay healthy. Happy MosaicMonday
Fingers crossed, Happy MM.
DeleteEverything is up in the air. We are hoping to finally get home if the Canada/US border restrictions lessen. I guess you could say we are on a stayaway vacation right now. - Margy
ReplyDeleteHope you'll soon be on your way home, meanwhile enjoy your staycation!
DeleteI've got my fingers crossed your trip will be even better in the future
ReplyDeleteYour trip to the Canaries looks wonderful, full of warm sunshine! What a nice treat from the hotel for your anniversary. This year we are staying close to home, but doing some boating and camping. I wonder what travel will look like in the future.
ReplyDeleteFuetenventura is a beautiful island. We are like you, will be thinking very seriously before heading back to foreign isles. Britain is a beautiful place though and there are many stunning places to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your memories. Happy mosaic Monday
ReplyDeleteMuch🏝love
My only plans for travel will be within 6-9 hours driving to go see the grands. We like others had to cancel so many plans for the summer. You have beautiful memories.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteYour trip memories look wonderful. What a beautiful place to spend your anniversary! We missed our 30th anniversary which was back in early May. Maybe a road trip! We hope we can go somewhere soon, when it is safe!
Sorry you had to cancel your trip. You have some beautiful photos and I'm sure beautiful memories of the previous trips. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your trip was cancelled but great thatyou got the refund. Perhaps the trip is to a spot in england you've never been or not for ages. Are you allowed to roam freely these days?
ReplyDeleteThrilled to find your new blog, Maggie. No travel plans here but I enjoy "virtual" travel so keep sharing trips past.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, No plans for an airplane ride in the year! Good to hear you got your money back. I was talking to a fellow yesterday who is working with an airline to get $1500.00 back. Have a great week. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were supposed to celebrate our June birthdays with our family on a 10 cruise of the Adriatic Sea. Of course we cancelled it when covid broke out in Italy, and we were able to get almost a full refund--the cruise line kept some money as deposit towards a future cruise. We are not sure when that will happen--maybe far in the future? Anyway, as long as we stay healthy that is all that counts in the end.
Maggie - belated 40th anniversary. Isn't it amazing to think what used to be so "normal" now may be very special indeed? It looks like a stunning location with blessed memories.
ReplyDeleteWe are still trying to plan our regular trip to the UK in the fall, but it is very much up in the air. And who knows about our 30th anniversary next year? We had dreamed of a very special vacation to celebrate … time will tell.
Thanks for linking up, my friend!
It will be road trips only for us, and maybe just day trips. We are too old to take chances, but not old enough for the rocking chairs.
ReplyDeleteYour memory trip looks like a wonderful one ... and memory trips are exactly all that we’ll be taking for the foreseeable future. ( we are usually traveling in June also). We aren’t even sure if we will even go to our winter home in Florida in December (that State isn’t looking good at this point). ...I’m glad you were able to get your money back on your planned trip..
ReplyDeleteMaggie, This is a new place for you so you should enjoy it! Thanks for sharing and have a safe week. Sylvia D
