Re Mexico depends where you want to go. For some bars / late night venues the cartels have been forcing tourists to pay $40 pp for a 'test' at the door before you get in.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get a few racing invites, stranger things have happened.
Le Mans Classic in July would be nice. The White porker with the Green nose was our car ( wasn't me that spun it! )

Sounds like the requirement for unjabbed to self-isolate for 10 days on return to uk is also going. But they will still need to do tests.

They must be loaded then considering all the money from IPTV as well

New Forest, the Peak District and the Lakes this year, steering well clear of Continental Europe this year, Covid out of control in France and the Russians about to invade from the east.
I’m out.

Hopefully the taxpayer won’t be asked to rescue him again.

Ukraine a fine country to visit.
Kiev is very cheap. Plus Chernobyl is fascinating to visit.

As above, it has to be a supervised LFT, either physically face-to-face or via online video.
We're using DocHQ for our online video LFTs on the 19th (so, booked for early in the morning on the 18th).
The tests arrived via tracked Royal Mail so all seems ok thus far.
This link should include a 30% discount: https://dochq.co.uk/shop/?customer_discount=CTNHQ30
If this is any use just ask. I won’t be using it and I’d rather it not be wasted.

I've noticed UK self catering prices have hiked up some quite ridiculously.

Noticed that too, clearly making up for last years' lost revenue, by fleecing those electing to staycation...
So, given the slight chink of light at the end of the tunnel, I've been giving holiday plans some thought again. As it happens, I speculatively booked a holiday for the four of us (wife and two nippers) for this coming August, back in September last year as things were relatively stable and I could see things going a bit nuts price-wise if and when things got better.
I booked a package holiday through BA, for 18 nights staying at the Waldorf Astoria. So, assuming all goes well, we're pretty much set on that front; the only thing we don't have sorted is park tickets and transport. In terms of park tickets, what's the best way to do this given we're staying slightly longer than a fortnight? The kids will be 8 and 6 so will probably be more focused in the Disney stuff, but we definitely want to do Universal too.
Transport-wise, I've thought about hiring a car however I'm not sure I can be arsed. It's gonna be hot, and the kids will inevitably stress me out from time-to-time so I know I'm going to want to have a beer or two at some point. The hotel is a Disney partner hotel, so we get free transfers to and from the Disney Parks. Beyond that, I'd have hoped Uber would be able to pick up the slack however I'm not 100% sure as Uber wasn't a thing when I was last in Orlando.
Thoughts and any tips welcome.
Cheers!

Hi mate. Has anybody asked? We're off to France on the 13th.
Should be Covid free by then, as I am sitting at home with my second dose in four months at the moment...

Have always hired a car in Orlando………makes life a lot easier including for restaurants after the parks too and means you have complete flexibility on times. Outside of the shuttle’s there’s no public transport that worked tbh (for us anyway). Haven’t looked recently but the ‘Orlando Freedom ticket’ that covers all parks used to allow 14 (Disney) visits within an18 day window so that would cover your trip ?

Greece. Carried over for the last couple of years and all payed for. Lovely.
Thanks Dazzer - does it generally matter who you buy the tickets through?
