Like many others, I am looking forward to returning to Europe. It has been nearly a year and a half since I've used my passport.
Normally, I take an international trip between October and early January. This year, I plan to go on a trip I was planning for last fall--mostly Northern Mediterranean. I also thought I'd hop over this summer because, well, just because.
And then I remembered Schengen. 90 out of 180. If I travel to a Schengen country this summer, I will have to cut out some of my trip this fall. In all my excitement of traveling internationally, I forgot the rules.
So Schengen will have to wait until this fall. I'm hoping, that by August, the UK will open and I can spend some time there and in Ireland. (Ireland opens mid July and it looks like the UK may push back it's opening for four weeks. That's why I said August.)
So, to those who run Schengen my suggestion is to let us temporarily stay longer than 90 in 180 to make up for lost time. We promise to spend more money. :)
