No Beach for Us

We failed to find a van to be rented. Because of this, it will be a failure for us to visit the nearest beach here. I know how the others felt about this concern all day long. I guess we can do this some other time. There will be other chances sooner or later. Holy week is so busy for everyone here. Did you ever feel frustrated over something lately?

Maybe you could rent some other vehicle to use to drive to the beach? You don't own a car?

Our own car was crashed by our nephew before. We tried our best to hire other vans but failed.

@DaddyEvil The sad thing is that his mom paid for the totally wrecked car. We did not buy another car after this incident.

@Shavkat So your nephew is working to make money to buy a new car? I never let anyone else drive my vehicles... if they crash it, they won't replace it.... They just say "I'm sorry." and expect me to start paying for a new one. (My insurance doesn't cover someone else driving my car. I did that on purpose so I can tell people my insurance won't cover it if you get in a wreck.)

Sorry you couldn’t go to the beach. I’m often frustrated but I try to keep it under control.

We cannot do anything now, but hopefully, it will happen before the end of this year.

@RubyHawk As I always bear in mind, "Things happen for a reason."

That is sad you weren't able to get the vehicle. I guess many were out during the long holidays. Knowing that this will be the first time that people can go out after 2 years of being locked down and cannot do anything like we useed to be.

@Shavkat True, We are tempted to do it as well but I decided that despite the loosened restriction the virus is still out there and not safe to venture out.

I agree. It seems that some of the locals are like birds that fly high after being caged for a long time.

Is it far away for you to go to the beach? It will be a great journey to go to the beach. I haven't done so after the pandemic What bothers me today is the continuously stupid Covid-19 and it makes no sense at all. It is becoming crazy.

It will take 2 hours at least to the nearest beach. It is quite lax traveling in my country now. I hope that it would be sustained this situation.

This is the worst time of the year to have a trip, so many tourists are around for Easter, you will go later to the beach.

We also noticed this on Facebook feeds at that time. Some of our friends did post their photos on this site.

@LadyDuck Our original agenda is to go back right after doing the activity

@Shavkat - I have read that all the hotels and restaurants in our area were full. I am glad we stayed at home.

There is another holiday on Monday, if it is the same in your country you can try again then.

It is a sad thing that we do not have enough time for the event. We just moved the idea some other time.
