However, even if I did I would not be leaving NSW. So much rests on the ways in which premiers close borders. Learning to love being in your city and state might continue a while longer. Thank you for linking up your blog post today. Next week's optional prompt is 7/51 Self Care Stories #1. 15 Feb. In this one, I am using the new category in my blog called Ageing Stories because it was a good fit. Look forward to seeing you there too.

I cannot decide. I'm meant to be going to a gig {if it goes ahead} in Brissy in March and I haven't bothered booking anything yet. I'd vote for NSW Beach house - because I feel like at least we will be able to continue to travel within our own stateSanch @ Sanch Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186120970693054564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-5684576795613189732021-02-08T12:56:03.449-08:002021-02-08T12:56:03.449-08:00I'm the same.

I need to get to Sydney to see my parents but our premier has a habit of closing the borders quickly & applying quarantine rules retrospectively and I don't want to risk getting stuck in Sydney. I don't think I'd be as concerned coming from NSW as your premier doesn't shut the borders and you can always get home - but then the opposite applies & one case can turn greater Sydney into a hotspot. It's a tough call. We're staying within the state this year for our holiday I think.Jo Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096756433952821037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-31351548685412906032021-02-07T23:19:52.456-08:002021-02-07T23:19:52.456-08:00I would vote for Tasmania, it seems to be a fairly...I would vote for Tasmania, it seems to be a fairly safe destination and so beautiful.

It looks so lovely. (I've only been to Hobart.) <br /><br />My bro, SIL and niece just took off on a 10 day driving holiday into NSW today. They were to go to the Blue Mountains / Hunter Valley (are they different places?) but decided to briefly go as far as the Jenolyn (sp?) caves as they were worried about border closures etc. I'm assuming they think they can drive back asap if something happens.

The flipside is we love travelling and now that overseas is out for the moment, it is a great time to discover our own country. So my vote would be for Tassie although I live in Queensland and the islands are beautiful too. WA is also on my list.

Having had to cancel a holiday to Kingscliff in NSW during 2020 though, I'm a little nervous to book an interstate holiday just yet - but that's me. Out next little holiday is in a couple of weeks and is on the Gold Coast - staying in our own state. Good luck with your decision!

We've decided it's not worth the hassle and that we can look forward to NSW holidays with relative ease and already have a couple of short trips in the pipeline so the NSW beach house gets my vote!
