Ok, so I’m resurrecting this blog as the time seems right. 

The last 2 years have been hard on everyone for a multitude of reasons thanks to COVID-19.m these are covered far better elsewhere so I won’t go into details here.

As the world reopens to trade, commerce and yes, travel, it’s now time to restart my random thoughts. I will, as always, try to stay away from the policies and politics but may let the odd one creep in.

As I said above, travel is back and while there are still some restrictions and requirements, 2022 is feeling much more like 2019. People are finally reuniting with families, loved ones and exploring the globe, hopefully while staying safe. Having stepped off a plane from Los Angeles this morning, it certainly felt normal. Long queues at Heathrow immigration, aimless wandering in the arrivals area, etc. 

One reason for not posting anything recently is because it would feel unfair to those who couldn’t travel or suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc. who are doing the best they can to survive and have had to make hard choices. While I want to be positive, I will address negatives but don’t want to ‘put the boot in’ as it were.
