Anyone feeling bold enough?

Good for you.We all need something to look forward to and a holiday in 2022 seems highly likely.We had a fab holiday booked in 2020 that we were able to move to summer 2021 without losing money.We have managed to get a full refund Voucher so we can rebook for next year when the flights and villa have released their 2022 timetable.We need some joyous sunny holiday once this has passed.I think most of the population will be doing the same...Good times are ahead

We like to use our local independent travel agent, as soon as they are open we shall be booking something for early autumn 2021.

I hope I will have the confidence to want to book a future holiday, but it will feel very strange indeed to board a train or stay in a hotel. I think lockdown has got to me.

It did feel very odd and a bit unsettling. I've never booked a holiday so far in advance before. I'm glad it's done though. It's a sort of marker in life.
Just seen on the news that the travel companies are suddenly booming. Good news for so many whose jobs rely on us spending our money on holidays.

We all booked holidays for this summer/autumn, some weeks ago.

I booked my summer hol last September. Thought I’d beat the rush and, with good cancellation policies, I didn’t consider it too much of a risk. We’re car/ferry/house in France so not too much mixing. Just relying on the French letting us in now! 😁

We've booked a short break in Devon in August, with money back if we cancel. I wouldn't feel happy about going abroad yet, vaccine rollout overseas is quite slow.

I agree re the vaccination roll out in other countries. We're going to stay in the UK this year. Also want to spend our money here too to help support the economy in our own small way.

Why are holidays in the U.K. so expensive? Together with the unpredictable weather I don’t see any attraction to holidaying at home.

There's all sorts of interesting holidays to be had in UK. I'm not interested in lying on a beach baking all day. Lots of lovely city breaks I've always wanted to get round to. Maybe this year we'll make it to York for example.
Last summer we had a long weekend in StAndrews and really enjoyed that. We stay in decent hotels which employ staff on UK wages and have themselves to pay UK taxes and rates. They're expensive thus pushing up costs.

We have booked a self catering cottage near Taunton for September this year and a hotel holiday in Portugal in May 2020 but taken insurance out on both of them. I have finally persuaded my daughter not to book a holiday abroad this year and she is spending her money on making her garden nice instead.

Self catering booked last month for Welsh Borders for early September. I so want to visit my friends in France but can’t handle all the unknowns involved atm.

We booked a Brecon Beacon holiday for September this year. Booked before Christmas.

We wont be considering going abroad for a long time though

Saves sitting on a plane with lots of other people, wearing a mask.

I've booked with my pal on the IoW and reciprocally she's booked in with me. Just the train or plane to go!

For some of us, sitting on a plane with lots of other people, wearing a mask, would be utter bliss if it meant we could see our grandchildren again. If we don't get to go this summer it will be 3 years between visits. Not going to book flights until the OK is given, but if it is I'll be on it within minutes.

I think Polarbear2 has a point, it will also depend on the countries we want to visit letting us in.
A lot of them - France, Spain, Italy - are way behind in their vaccinations too.

I have just booked UK holiday for October.

For me, it wouldn’t be enough that a particular country would let me in - they have a vested interest in tourism. I’d want to know about their case rate and vaccination rate because it one were high and the other low I’d be putting myself at risk even if that were a limited risk.

That’s what makes France so unlikely 😢

I've just booked my Christmas holiday.

Be brave, they're booking up quickly.

Yes, I agree, sadly France, the homeland of Louis Pasteur, ironically, is looking unlikely.

We had booked a UK holiday cottage for last year and it has been rebooked for the end of June this year. We very much hope that it will go ahead.

Im not keen to travel far. Anyway we want to see family. We intend to take the ferry to Scotland later in the year to visit my friend in Cumbria, my son in Lancashire, and if energy permits Stratford then down to East Sussex to our daughters. There are so many interesting places to visit in England. Home via Holyhead. That's the plan! We might have to do it in two visits.
