Holidays 2026

My bf and I were talking about holidays. We have talked about the USA, I've never been. He has relatives there particularly in New Jersey and Boston. But one of his cousins simply texted back "Don't come to the USA currently. I wish my family had stayed in Europe". Remember this is a family that are a combination of different heritages and backgrounds and were scattered across the world by the actions of the Nazi's in Europe.

We might go to Prague. He's been a few times and his family is from there, Hungary and Poland. Two of his relatives left Prague in 1939 on the Kindertransport. I'd like to go see his heritage there as he's been to Dublin to see some of mine.

If you go to the US, get a clean burner phone. They're checking social media for "anti-American", or should I say "anti-trump" postings. Even to the point of denying entry. Very sad indeed.

I am wondering about the Irish diaspora passport opportunity. Although my great-grandparents left Ireland in the 1850's.... It seems there are folks applying for a second Irish passport. Although now donald's mouthpiece(s) are disparaging people with dual citizenship.... 🙄

@VeronicaJane I have an Irish passport, courtesy of Granny bring born in Dublin. I got it as we left the EU so that I can still easily travel or work there if I need to. Unfortunately my bf is English despite his mixed European heritage he's not able to get any additional passport.
