I was in mainland Europe a few weeks back.
Was it essential? Debatable.
Was it important to me and my family? Yes.
Did I follow every rule to the letter? No.

If you’ve to get double jabbed and or pcr tested to go abroad. I’m not interested to be honest. Fuck that.
Its not worth it. What happens if you’ve a positive PCR test 72 hours before your flight home?
Lads go on foreign holidays if you want to go.
I’ll go in September.
I’d not use mental health as an excuse - some of us grew up in the 70s and 80s when only posh folk had the car ferry IRL
I didn’t leave Ireland til I was 16.

It can actually be a much tighter window than that. Which is a real high wire act.
I was waiting for my PCR result the morning I was flying. If that was positive the whole thing was torpedoed.
There are companies that are tricky with the timing of their tests. E.g. They’ll say you’ll have the result next day but it can be up until 23.59 the following day. So if you think it’s 24 hour turnaround it may not be. If you got tested at 8am they may not give you the result for more than 36 hours.

Thats a big blocker for me to be honest. Wouldnt enjoy the break with that hanging over us.
Might have a different opinion in 2022, but its not worth it this year in my opinion.
Whenever Junior lets us.
I’d probably have travelled by now if it wasn’t for the young fella. As a family we might do something like taking the boat to France next year. I’ve no major desire to bring a toddler through the rigmarole of airports and airplanes if I’m honest.
Jobwise, I think my international bidness days are done. It’s just not really needed. I was abroad with work 5 or 6 times at the start of 2020. When you think of the bullshit money spent at either side, and how that would have added up with all the other people doing bidness at the time, it’s staggering.
I might apply for a new job.
I’m heading to the PROC tomorrow I assume my covid passport will get me across the border without any hassle…
Good man mac happy you enjoyed it but you really don’t have to justify why you went on holiday. It’s absolutely grand, delighted you enjoyed it. I’ll be doing the same soon.

Lads will be lamenting local places closing down in 12 months while they’ve been off spending their money abroad during a crisis
Bingo!
Sure as night follows day. The same lads in here going foreign will be the lads posting in the casualties of the coronavirus thread.

Travel is perfectly safe. If there are variants out there, they will get in regardless. Ireland has a huge amount of essential workers passing through airports and ports everyday.
There is nothing to be gained from stopping travel, aside from virtue-signaling credit.

It’s no wonder you were lashing out at the paddle boarding and 29 degree temperatures.
Stop making sense.

Thought you’d be ok with the pubs numbers reduced in this country?
You lads keep coming back to pubs… Pubs, pubs, pubs
Well, restaurants are booked out everywhere at the moment, hotels bar Dublin city centre doing well so if you’re saying tourist related businesses are closing, what’s left in big enough numbers to be going on about but the pubs?
