Hang in there, guys. The rise of the COVID "Delta" variant has caused a deterioration in conditions over the past week, but things are still a lot better now than they were this time last year.

Also, for all of you who have travel plans from now through the end of this year, be sure to keep a close eye on your flight itinerary. I logged into my airline a couple of days ago and discovered that the London Heathrow to Geneva segment of my trip was cancelled by Swiss Air, and my US-based airline didn't even send me an e-mail. I contacted my airline through text message, and after an hour of working with the agent, the London Heathrow to Geneva segment was re-booked and re-confirmed, but at a later time than I had originally selected. So what was once a busted trip to Switzerland is now full steam ahead again.

Spain, Portugal and Germany were better options than the United Kingdom even before that guy in China decided to try that bowl of bat soup. Not only better mongering, but better tourism, too. If the Big Three stay open, Europe will once again be a mongering destination for non-Europeans.

Trying to assess destinations based on: travel without quarantine, good mongering options, first world medical care in case of catching COVID19 despite being vaccinated. I'm looking at ditching London for 2021. Spain, Portugal, Germany are live options now, so maybe I should just firm up plans for those. Still have plans for Thailand at the end of the year, but that's looking unlikely. Anyone with a better idea?
