Billies Beer Festival in Antwerp was my hope but I just can’t see it going ahead.

Would love both a ski break and a sun break at some point but tbh I think 2021 is a write off for us wrt foreign travel, have already accepted that, lowered expectation. Too much uncertainty to start booking anything. Keep an eye on 2022 instead.
Just want schooling and work etc sorted first, things back to some kind of normal, one step at a time.

Nothing planned for overseas this year - though we are hoping that Seattle and British Columbia for 3-4 weeks might be possible in the Fall. We have good friends in Seattle who also have a place in Whistler we can use - but we are doing nothing about booking. Meanwhile we have Cornwall for 7 days in June - overlapping with the G7 and staying in the same place (Carbis Bay) it's being held - however it is held.... That'll be fun

But remember - eating contaminated oysters can be fatal...
I'm amazed you are allowed to be there. On another point, do you want to be there? Security will be so heightened then that moving around will be a nightmare.Nothing planned for overseas this year - though we are hoping that Seattle and British Columbia for 3-4 weeks might be possible in the Fall.

Enjoy by the way, wherever you get to.

We only just realised...fortunately the summit is 11th-13th and we are there 12th-19th June...so hopefully much of the fuss and security will have passed for the majority of our time there. However thinking I'll ping the owner (friends of a close friend) just to confirm all will be OK.

Good luck with Carbis Bay if you are there during the G7 you won’t be able to move, the infrastructure struggles during normal times. The beach area will be a no go area. You’ll be better of further north of the county or around the Falmouth area. Even West Cornwall GC is being suggested as as heliport.Nothing planned for overseas this year - though we are hoping that Seattle and British Columbia for 3-4 weeks might be possible in the Fall.

A few years ago I played a round at St Pierre while the Nato summit was happening at Celtic Manor. A few of the big wigs were staying at St Pierre. The place was crawling with very heavily armed police. Quite strange to have half a dozen people with machine guns and snipers rifles watching you play. There was no bother tho - just an ID check and search of the car when we arrived.

A week in Filey and a week in Bamburgh for us this summer. Clubs will be coming on both trips

Certainly not booking anything but may look at something long haul in October/November depending on how things stand at the time.

Nephews wedding in New Jersey in May is realistically unlikely, the wedding will probably go ahead with the celebrations delayed 12 months.
Hopefully we can manage to get to our annual Sweden vs The Rest of the World golf meet in Spain September time, the 20th anniversary having been postponed in 2020.
In terms of a family holiday, we're hoping we can get to the Lakes some time soon for a weekend and maybe a week or so later in the year.

I love the UK. it is amazing like others have stated, however, I hate brits. Idiots. We did the lake district 2020 summer, it was hell. Going to be worse in 2021 if we get some freedom.
I want somewhere no one knows about!! We did get an air bnb last year in devon, may have to trek down there and find some hidden gems away from the masses.
AND YES I DO UNDERSTAND THE IRONY OF MY ATTITUDE!

A few years ago, when Blair was PM and Brown the Chancellor, I was at a company event at the Boca Raton Club in Florida. Played golf the day before it kicked off and as we were playing saw a fleet of black SUVs arrive. Must be some big wigs here, one of my American colleagues said. Next day I was in the conference area standing outside the meeting room having a coffee chatting to one of my American colleagues, and Gordon Brown walked right past, entirely on his own. "See that guy", I said to my colleague, "He's going to be the next Prime Minister of the UK". Then Alan Greenspan walked past with a small entourage. Turned out to was a meeting of the G7 or whatever number it then was's finance ministers. Didn't disturb us in the slightest.

My mate just sent me his itinerary for the coming year
The event in Cornwall is going to be all of the big boys, not the finance guys. That means more protestors, more potential for terrorist attacks. I'm surprised your event was quite so relaxed but I can't see Cornwall being as chilled. For starters it could well be President Joe's first trip to the UK.

I know, but it is odd when you are somewhere far away from home and you spot someone like that ambling by. If they try to really contain the G7 for security purposes, it might not be too bad if you are a wee bit away from it.
