| Given up flying too for a different reason | Aug 13, 2021 |
I have also given up flying, unless there is no option, for a different reason. This is because I refuse to pay luggage fees and to pay for water. You can't take water with you because of the fluids rule. In the good old days, it was free (except for excess baggage) and in the very good very old days airlines like Varig even served caviar on board, FREE.

I would have to fly to Europe though. Intercontinental cruises are only once a year so I would still have to fly back. (What happens is that at the end of the cruise season the companies like MSC offer a once-yearly cruise from Santos to Genoa, so the same ships can be then used for Adriatic and Mediterranean cruises).
My usual route by air is GRU/FRA/BHX. ▲ Collapse

| No travel at all since the pandemic outbreak | Aug 14, 2021 |
Not even travel out of the city I am living in, let alone to any country. Hopefully, it won't take long to resume to normal.

I gave up flying some years ago when I became aware of how harmful it is for the environment. Since then, I have stayed close to home. If I can't get there by train I just don't go.
Still, I have had some wonderful experiences getting to know my own country and its near neighbours. You don't have to travel to the other side of the world to broaden your horizons.
Still waiting and hoping for a direct train (no changing at Paris) from London to Florence.

| different approach | Aug 15, 2021 |
Last year, 2020, during the full blown pandemic, I flew 48 times within the US.
This week I just returned from a six weeks vacation spent in Spain, France, UK, Germany and Austria. A little overwhelming with all the paperwork required by each country (test for the UK, France, Germany, Austria and return to the US, proof of vaccination in Spain). I liked the fact that some museums or places of tourist interest required proof of vaccination (Guggenheim in Bilbao, Mozart Geburtshaus in...

Just get vaccinated, wear mask and use your common sense.

I guess your clients didn't contact you during that time for jobs or you didn't have to worry about losing them?

That's quite a carbon footprint. I hope your flights were essential.

| I hate airports | Aug 21, 2021 |
I like flying but I hate airports. To me they are the most horrible places in the world. So I have given up flying.

During this extended vacation I took only four urgent projects. Not afraid of losing them. I my case, since I am retired, they lose me, not the other way around.

I took a couple of day trips to Canada when I lived near the border. (I'm in the U.S.)
England, Ecuador, Spain, Portugal, France, England again! I wish other countries were not so dad-blatted far away from me! If I lived in the Old World I would have bee-bopped around to about 25 of them by now.
