Thanks for all your comments. I think for safety I'll leave her to sort out the bits she sells and I'll just lie in my hammock!. Not want to fall foul of immigration when I've been waiting to get there for so long . Thanks again

Chris ********

I've had 2 holidays, booked n paid for before covid, cancelled in the last year. I met a lovely lady online in 2018 and have still not been to see her 😪. I can't wait until I can get there to drive around a bit, see some islands and find a hammock with my name on it to retire to. Hoping for October 🤞🤞. Stay safe
