Just booked my first international vacation since the pandemic. Two weeks with friends in Malaga (Torremolinos), Spain. Horrible, overpriced Air Canada flights more than double the length they need to be (St. John's - Toronto - Dublin and reverse return). But, as usual, once I'm in Europe, it's pocket change to get anywhere and, bizarrely, Aer Lingus beat Ryan Air from Dublin to Malaga in timing, and tied on price.
It's going to be my first time (as far as I recall) flying Aer Lingus, which I'm, of course, excited to check out.
Also, my parents are in Toronto right now on their way back from New Orleans. I think this is their first visit to the States since the pandemic. They had a grand time. Wouldn't be me. I don't think I'll ever set foot in the United States again, oddly. Just... zero interest, and feels so risky.
