Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
That’s a shame. Next year maybe. Several of my friends have had to do the same thing. One of them was in Paris en route to Cuba when the trip was cancelled.

Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
The inevitable has happened - our trip in April-May of this year is officially cancelled. I have been spending the morning clearing out a number of auto and hotel and other bookings. And soon I will turn to trying to work out something for next year. I was quite saddened each time I clicked the Cancel Reservation button. We had put a lot of time and effort into planning this trip and had been greatly anticipating it. Even as the reality of the pandemic became more evident each passing day over the last month, we were still trying to hold out hope. stan > On Jan 16, 2020, at 10:39 AM, Stanley Halpin > wrote: > > I had thought I might be able to set something up for early May, but as my > plans firm up, the opportunities diminish. > However, variation to the following still quite possible! > > • Arr Southampton 1 May. > > Probably… > - to Exeter or further southwest, say Plymouth or Tavistock, via train > or auto > - 7-night stay in an inn, day trips out and about > > • Drive from wherever to Shaftsbury on 8 May > • Overnight Shaftsbury 8-9 May > • Drive to Heathrow 10 May, overnight at LHR hotel > • Dep for U.S. Monday 11 May > > The arrival and departure are firm.

The bank holiday has been shifted this year to 8 May to coincide with VE day anniversary celebrations.

Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
Hi Stan, The Bank Holiday is May 4 - they are always on Mondays. Your fears are justified. You can expect hotels and B to be booked well in advance. The roads will be jammed, and delayed further by traffic accidents. The railways will be packed, and delayed by strikes and unseasonal weather of one extreme or the other. Airlines will be overbooked but it won’t matter because the French air traffic controllers are on strike (but your airline has gone bust anyway) and everybody has been camping in the airport for at least a week. That is the traditional Bank Holiday. The only thing to do is stay at home or cycle or walk to wherever you want to be. If you want to be in Guernsey then a ferry would probably get you there and (one day) back again. If things go to plan for me then by May I will be living somewhere on the South Coast, most likely in exotic Worthing, planning to buy a small place in France, and split my time between them. If that happens then a trip to Guernsey would be great. But since it depends on somebody buying my house pdq I will just have to wait and see.

Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
Yes, day trips are only viable when the tides are right - and they're probably not by the sound of it. To get a full day in Guernsey, it might be necessary to have 2 nights there so you'll have to decide on that basis. Keep in touch off-list as I'm not here often these days...

Re: PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
Thanks all! Some variations to our plans that I have thought of, based in part on your responses: a. on arrival in Southampton 1 May, instead of heading immediately SW we could instead head for London environs, overnight, Saturday with Bob & whoever, then proceed SW later on Saturday 2 May. Unless of course Bob has moved to Paris or back to Gibraltar or some other exotic locale. b. We have thought of finding lodging a bit closer to or into Cornwall, e.g. Tavistock, Gunnislake… Which is the region Meg’s Dad was from. A feasible day trip from there would be back toward Exeter if Cotty & Alma are in that neighborhood. c. Definitely intrigued by Guernsey. I checked ferry schedules from Poole. Given the timing and the length of the trip, it doesn’t seem feasible to do a day trip, but maybe an overnight. However I am not seeing any ferries back from Guernsey mid-day, everything seems to be late afternoon/evening… I’ll do some more looking and keep this in mind. I am a bit concerned about early May, Bank Holiday on 8 May, and how that impacts our plans. I can visualize great masses of urbanites streaming toward any available green space, zeroing in on all available “charming" B etc. But at least the powers-that-be had the sense to postpone May 1 for a week so that any disruption will happen at the end of our travels rather than the beginning! I will continue planning and booking and will remain flexible on specific until mid-April.

I’ve jotted those dates down in my diary. Can’t guarantee anything yet as I have just put my house back on the market, so the rest of time now depends on how that plays out.

PDML meet-up in Britain? Early May...
I had thought I might be able to set something up for early May, but as my plans firm up, the opportunities diminish. However, variation to the following still quite possible! • Arr Southampton 1 May. Probably… - to Exeter or further southwest, say Plymouth or Tavistock, via train or auto - 7-night stay in an inn, day trips out and about • Drive from wherever to Shaftsbury on 8 May • Overnight Shaftsbury 8-9 May • Drive to Heathrow 10 May, overnight at LHR hotel • Dep for U.S. Monday 11 May The arrival and departure are firm. The Friday-Saturday in Shaftsbury is quite firm. Sometime between our arrival in Shaftsbury Friday mid-afternoon to our departure for Heathrow mid-day Sunday we will spend some TBD time with Meg’s relative who lives nearby. The period 1 May through 8 May is totally subject to variation, with the exception that Meg does want to go SW for at least some period to revisit the area around Tavistock where her father was born.
