Amazing, have the same mindsetWell, they are called plans.
For me , I have no intention of rolling myself into a ball and hiding. Going to Europe via Muscat for example.

Hope you got to use the voucherI'm flying SYD-SIN-VIE in Scoot+ next April. It was a pretty good fare.
I've also booked a couple of weeks in Airbnb's in Italy, in the Rome and Naples regions. The only thing I hadn't booked was my travel from VIE to Rome. I imagined it would be simple and straightforward, and at a reasonable cost (!). Well, imagination is a great thing, but when I actually went into the detail of the available options, I was a little surprised at how few reasonable ones there were and at the costs.
There are a few direct flights daily, but I didn't fancy paying $250+ for a Ryanair flight (there are also a few others such as OS). So my creative mind took over and looked for what I would consider to be better alternatives, and found and booked the following, for less than FR and a more relaxing trip with a more sensible arrival time into Rome, albeit a day later.
So this is what I booked to get from VIE to ROM: a cheap Ryanair flight from VIE to Milan (MXP), an overnight hotel stay at the airport, and then a Frecciarossa high speed train to Rome Termini station, arriving around 1 pm. You might think it's a bit crazy, but I'm happy with it.
Indeed I did. Thank you.Hope you got to use the voucher
So good to read your plans for 2027. I bet you canāt wait to see 2026 in the rear view mirror.So our June trip is beginning to be fleshed out. We begin by flying SQ BNE to SIN on J saver awards.
Next using some life miles for TG J awards SIN to BKK. 5 days in BKK.
Then Aadvantage Miles on WY to MCT. 3 days in Muscat before WY to LHR . Finally BA to LIS where we board the Crystal Symphony for 11 days to Portsmouth . Spend some time with my sister in Devon. May spend a little while in the UK before flying home
@Pushka I'm exhausted after reading all that traveling! Good on you!Our plans settled now. Plus an extra.
March - a few nights in Melbourne to catch the first day of the 150th Ashes cricket test match plus some related social cricket activities.
April - a week in the Gold Coast theme parking with the 7 amd 4 year old grandkids and Dad. Never thought we'd get that chance with them.
June - Bali for 2 nights then TK through to LHR then straight down to Southampton to catch up with son DIL and her UK family on a Cunard cruise to France. Then off ship straight to Budapest to complete a Danube River cruise on Viking then to Prague for a few nights. Then back to UK and stay with son and DIL in Tunbridge Wells, then back down to Southampton for the first two days of the Southampton Ashes Test match (first time for Ahes there). Then fly to Rome, visit the Vatican again then down to port then an 11 night Solar Eclipse cruise through the Mediterranean on Celebrity. Off the ship, back to Bali then home. I'll need a holiday after that but really it will be much chiller than our Moroccan trip we did this year.
