A Year of Pandemic Travelling : 2021-22

on
<< Work in Progress :)>>
Although many countries started to relax their covid restrictions, It is always a concern about getting covid in a foreign country. Thus, I tried to adhere to a "One Trip One Country" travel during the covid pandemic.
December

Most European countries have relaxed their covid restrictions. We planned to go Denmark as it has the most relaxed rule. However, with the emergence of Omicron and further imposing covid restriction, we booked to go Switzerland.
First trip after relaxation of Covid pandemic : Switzerland. Such excitements and tinge of anxiousness. A "war plan" has been formulated if any of us were to get infected while in Switzerland
<<Covid Requirement: ART seven days after arrival in Switzerland
     Singapore : ART before arrival, and PCR on arrival>>
February
"Without the pandemic, I would have travelled to Faroe Islands in April 20... Denmark has relaxed its covid rule after December swift covid restriction."
"Greenland falls under the "One trip one country", and there's northern lights..."
"Is it wise to embark for another European country two months after Switzerland?"
"If not, Staying in Singapore is more interesting?"

     Copenhagen
<< Covid : Singapore ART 48 hours before arrival >>
April
"April is Cherry Blossom season but Japan is still closed"
Google said Pretty cherry blossom can be found in Europe as well. UK seems interesting with its blossom. 
"It is too frivolous to go UK just for cherry blossom..."
"Oh, a bit early but it's also puffin season in Scotland"
"Ok, if a relatively cheap air ticket, and also the Scot-rail ticket from London to Fort William(Which is difficult to book) are available when I checked (at 1 go), then I will go"
UK - London, Fort William, Edinburgh
<< Singapore : No more negative ART after 22 March >>
July
Since I have booked the December 2024 Peaceboat cruise, we booked a short cruise to kickstart the eventual long trip.
August
Ju was informed of his successful application for a year study in NYC in April.  
A summer trip to start a 4-seasons in NYC. (Usually I don't travel in Summer... but then...)
