Start packing your bags!

I saw the New York Times is up with a lead story tonight: The European Union is going to allow fully vaccinated American tourists to travel virtually everywhere in Europe this summer.
Bit by bit, the lights are coming on again (at least in the EU).
Now I'll have to start looking for a cheap flight.

that details are being worked out as to how you would prove vaccination and some countries may set their own rules, but Greece is all set to open now. I wouldn't mind a summer cruise through the Greek Islands.

Scheduled for June 2020. They are still honoring deposits if I rebook by the end of year. Hoping for early 2022.
