Oh my, what a year 2020 was!
But now it's 2021, and things are changing. According to Chris Elliott, author, advocate, journalist and the person we rely on to interpret the data and solve problems in the travel sphere, patience may not be the best idea right now when it comes to travel plans. In his words:
"We've seen very aggressive discounts at the beginning of 2021, such as Southwest Airlines' $29 fare sale. But those low prices will soon yield to reality, which is that in a post-vaccine world, people will be paying more to travel, including higher nightly rates for their vacation rentals. It's just a matter of time before hotel rates, car rental prices, and yes, even cruise fares, catch up."
Chris is not suggesting you travel right now but, his "Bottom line: Don't wait too long to book your next vacation. Patience doesn't always pay." Read his full article here.
Take good care,
Janice

I’m Christine Todd - I invite you to stay with me in the small port of Brigneau, Moëlan-sur-Mer, near Pont-Aven, the city of painters! We will walk the coastal paths , cook together, and speak French if you like! I am bilingual in French and English and have been teaching English at high school and university level for many years. I am passionate about travel and world cuisine; after running a crêperie in a small Breton village, I went to the other side of the world to New Zealand, where I turned an Asian restaurant into a Breton crêperie!
I now wish to share with you my passion for languages and different cultures within a new project; all-inclusive, bespoke homestays, sharing my part of the world with you so that you can enjoy the French lifestyle and food, and if you like, I can help you practice your French.
- Weekend Stays - arrive Saturday morning, depart Sunday evening
- Weeklong Stays - Monday to Sunday
- Enjoy this video , in French, about Le Port de Brigneau
