Great....worked there for a while back in the late 70's for a firm of consulting engineers, Kennedy & Donkin, King Street, I think it was. Hope weather & life are treating you reasonably well in these difficult times.
Response from Baileybird11 made on 21st Feb 2021 12:07:40 > @Beauty
I am well thanks. Things here are OK. Weather - mild, crocus everywhere. Had my first jab on 12 Feb, I turned 66 last November but got my invite slightly early probably due to having worked for 8 years in a local GP Practice -admin/IT stuff, I got my invite via text from the local Clinical Commissioning Group. The only bit of Surrey I am familiar with is around Addlestone and Weybridge where an aunt of mine lived - passed away in the late 90's, fabulous lady, I miss her.
Response from Beauty made on 21st Feb 2021 12:29:10 > @Baileybird11
Pleased to hear that you've had at least one jab, as have I, at McLaren admin' HQ in central Woking....sadly no drivers or cars in attendance. I'm not too far from Addlestone/Weybridge, but not a Surrey lady....born in Oxford, 'town' not 'gown'. Loads of trees in Surrey, prefer open rolling countryside.....each area has its' plusses.....

Anyone interested in seeing the National Parks and National Monuments in the United States? Yeah, we've got that virus thing here so I'm not interested in cities for awhile. The caravan (we call them travel trailers) is 35' long and has 2 private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Big screen TV, micro, oven etc. I'll be doing this for the next year or two so there are lots of travel segments to choose from. Not looking for a travel buddy for the entire time. Heck, I can't even stand myself for that long. Male or female (I'm straight) but absolutely no romantic liaison, just buds.

You'll notice there's no time mentioned. That's because everyone else in the U.S. had the same idea on avoiding the CV and bought up all the caravans, so I don't know when mine will be available!

See my bio for more info.

Hello and thank you all. Reference to my previous post enquiring about any interest in a coach holiday
to Estartit in June 2021. Subject to this trip going ahead, I am fortunate to have now found a suitable travel partner for this trip.

Any females travelling to Scotland over the next month or so?
I'm an author, film-maker, nature lover and hill-walker planning a trip, but friends too lazy!
Nice walks, scenery, chat and food in Scotland, bliss...

Hi Everyone,
I live in the midlands and gave enjoyed many holidays with friends plus a few solo holidays. My friends are completely put off travelling now but I am still eager. It is though important to meet up with peope you get on with, if you are with someone and you're not on the same wavelength it can be awful. I remember the only time that happened to me with someone I thought knew well, she was a nightmare in most ways,
Response from Baileybird11 made on 19th Jul 2020 17:08:38
Hi, I live in Manchester, if you fancy a chat, please get in touch. I also like to travel and like you, have found my friends have become very very cautious now because of Covid-19.

Hi COVECAT,

I wanted to reply to your post but it seems to have disappeared.

I live in London - Putney, and love going on City breaks.

Went to Estepona, in March and just managed to get back before they closed the airport.

Get in touch if you want to meet up.

Regards

Hi, out there because of the lockdown and the need to be wary of travelling at the moment I thought I would finally banish my fears and look for female travel companions. Knowing I would have plenty of time to acustom myself to the reality I have denied myself for so long.
So slowly slowly anyone, Prefer slimish women with a sense of humour and smiling face.
Obviously meeting in person in public before any travel in the future.

Hi folks, I am a keen traveler but if you are single you have no other choice as to travel solo. The problem Is once you get used to it and you keep on traveling solo. Now I am getting fed up of it traveling solo, and naturally like a companion but it is easy said and done. How are you going to find somebody. I find it expensive to travel solo when it comes to searching for accommodation. Not many hotels offer you single rooms. I find it sometimes better to book a double room and sleep in a big bed not the ideal thing but saves money. I find it difficult when you go for a meal especially in the evenings and it is so boring to eat alone. I am bit of the romantic side. Some hotels do have a lovely arranging on a beach with candles and stuff like that then you sit alone. I do not enjoy but you do it as no other choice. Years of solo traveling is getting on my nerves. If anybody is interested please get in touch but doubt it. I live in hope so why not try. If not I keep traveling alone because I am used to it

Hi Charlsb, where are you from?? Are you in the UK? People on here are from all over the world.

Please get in touch if you fancy a chat. Babs
Response from Charlesb made on 21st Jun 2020 09:49:53 > @Baileybird11
Hi Babs . Yes, I am from U.K. . I live in Kent coast a place called Hythe. Have you heard of the place? Where are you from? I am hoping to hear from you again.
Take care and be safe.
Charles
Response from Baileybird11 made on 21st Jun 2020 10:24:30 > @Charlesb
Hi Charles, I live in Manchester. Yes, I have heard of Hythe, never been there though!!

I have seen you post in another part of this site where you say you were born in Sri Lanka.. I have been there!!! Back in 1999 I visited there with my daughter, it's a lovely place!

It's difficult to go anywhere at the moment with this covid-19 lockdown. Hopefully next year things will be some where near back to normal! LOL

Response from Charlesb made on 21st Jun 2020 14:09:16 > @Baileybird11
Hi Babs
Thanks for the message.
I have been to Manchester few times. Last time I was there an I was In Old Trafford to watch Genesis reunion tour.
I am happy to hear that you were in Sri Lanka. I go there almost every year. For you the country is changing very fast and maybe you will not recognize it. The changes are mainly in big Towns, such as Colombo and Galle. After 25 years civil war and the places you could visit is possible to visit. No more military check points so they are positive things that I like. Tradition and culture is changing because of the young generation. Tourism was booming before COVID-19 unfortunately it halted the boom completely now. It is very sad because people was making there living out of it. I was promoting or attempting to promote tourism to SL. when COVID-19 arrived. If you are interested please visit my website. http://www.journaltotravel.com .
I am at the moment in Central America exactly in Panama. I been here for the last 2 years traveling. Now I got stuck here in Panama. I was scheduled to return in end of February 2020, but I missed my flight then COVID 19 hit the world. Panama was very quick to react, they imposed a whole day curfew to the whole country to protect us. The police control and restriction to go out only to do grocery shopping. Example me I have a 2 hour window to do my shopping in a week I get 4 hours, that is 2 different days. Then they shut the Airport end of February and no commercial flights in and out of Panama since end of Feb. I think they would like to reopen on 26 this month but I doubt if they open I must get out quick before they shut again. The positive aspect is that COVID 19 did not spread here. I live in remote area and I have no idea about COVID and what is happening in the world until I read or see news.
Nice to hear from you and I hope you keep in touch.
Regards
Charles

You take care and be safe.
