First vacation

[Klaus]

It's still somewhat risky, but we've now booked a week of vacation for the island of Korfu (Greece).

This may turn out to be an expensive mistake, but we are sick of being locked in and really looking forward to this.

[Axtremus]

@Klaus, do you expect to have been vaccinated by then?

[Klaus]

No, almost certainly not.

[Copper]

Stop here on the way, we have plenty.

Take a few home to help pay for the trip.

[Klaus]

That's a nice idea, but you guys don't let anyone from Europe in!

Biden's such a xenophobe.

Just tell 'em you're from Texas. Your accent will be indistinguishable.

[Mik]

Will you drive, fly or train to Greece?

We did vacations before vaccination. If you stick to precautions you should be ok.

Lots of Germans in Texas.

Sadly Europe is too risky this year. Beach and mountains in 2021

I spent about 10 days camping in Corfu when I was young. We had a blast.

My recommendation is to steer clear of any English tourists.

But vacation isn't fun when you can't block beach chairs of English tourists with towels.

And go via...Lebanon and Syria. Sounds like a plan.
