Planning a Summer Vacation

“The more the state "plans" the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.”
― Friedrich A. Hayek

A week has passed since I last wrote about our plans for next year's summer vacation, and the central planners have already thrown a spanner into the works. There's going to be a new vaccine roll out in March. It too will presumably require two shots, and be required for international travel.

A year into the drive for universal vaccination, we'll need a total of five injections in order to be considered healthy enough to travel internationally. That appears to be the plan. However, it remains to be seen how many will go along with this. With things changing on a weekly basis, it's impossible to say where we'll be by next summer, and vacations become correspondingly difficult to plan.

I'll continue my planning with the assumption that things may be back to normal by July. However, I suspect that there's a full year of insanity still left in the system, and that we'll have to cancel everything at the last moment. That means that reservations will have to be made without deposits. We'll have to stay flexible, because no-one knows what the central planners are having in store for us.
