Holidays anyone had one

Off to a hotel we know and like just 90 mins North on the Coast next weekend for 2nights Half board Very much looking forward to not cooking and to having a walk on a beach

We have our own caravan. Before COVID we were booked to take the ferry to Bilbao, stay in Bilbao for a week then drive to Biarritz and stay there 2 weeks then drive slowly back through France stopping 3 or 4 times before we got the ferry back from Caen. We should have been away about 5 weeks. What did we do instead? We had 10 days in the caravan in Pevensey Bay in East Sussex!

So yes - I suppose you could say that we have had a holiday, but it wasn’t quite what we had expected!

We had a family holiday booked abroad but that has been postponed until next year.
However, we have had two mini-holidays to the South Downs and the Peak District (the latter in that August heatwave!!) as well as various short trips around England. Things are not as before: we socially distance, we wear masks where we need to, use hand sanitiser, and travel off-peak. Everywhere feels safe, and if we feel somewhere is crowded we simply walk away. We’ve had long nature walks, picnics, occasional meals out and just enjoyed being away.

After months of lockdown, it has felt wonderful and uplifting to have this change of scenery and accommodation. Staying at home, within sight of household chores and an untidy family, pressed in on every side by neighbours, really isn’t the same!!

Haven’t been on holiday for 14 years... husband won’t go.... and he’s not well enough to be left alone . Been nursing him for 24 years .... I need one!

No holiday for us this year. The deposit for the cottage we had booked for May is being held over until next year. My husband is adamant he would rather stay at home this year.

We are currently on holiday in north Devon. We left home a week ago and spent 2 nights in South Devon and then 5 nights in Cornwall. All in hotels. There is quite a bit variation in how they deal with Covid but we’re happy on the whole. Not so happy with the way people behave on pavements or in some cafes and pubs. I’m enjoying this but staycations of this length aren’t really for me. I’m hoping that next year we can go abroad. I do realise ( before anyone reminds me) how lucky I am to be able to go anywhere.

Motorhome to Wiltshire just before lockdown. Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex last month.

No, I haven't been away at all since lockdown began. I had 1 holiday booked to France and 3 in the offing, 2 to the Isle of Wight and 1 to the Peterborough area where I go every year to meet up with a group of Open University friends.
I have booked to go to Southern Spain, near Marbella, for 2 weeks over Christmas.

Off to stay in Airbnb in Somerset for a week next week. We cancelled our week in Ibiza to stay in UK. Looking forward to change of scenery the most and exploring new area. Hoping weathers kind.

Am currently in Croatia, it is absolutely stunning, the weather is a steady 26 degrees, clear blue skies, turquoise crystal clear water, and beautiful sunsets. Flight over was only quarter full, all precautions taken, no worries going through the airport. Everyone here is sensible, masks in shops and public transport, otherwise just get on with life. Spent today cruising round three islands, boat for 60 only had 14 on it, so sad as tourism is their main industry, but if you want to visit Europe without the crowds, go now!

We will have to quarantine on return, but we are retired, not a problem, and so worth it!

We did a week in a Norfolk Cottage in July and a trip to Devon in August. We’ve booked a week in Somerset in October. I couldn’t stand staying at home and looking at the same 4 walls all year.

We had four days in East Devon at the beginning of August. No TV, radio, internet, phone or mobile signal in our cottage so therefore absolutely no mention of Covid for the duration. It was wonderful. Cancelled Croatia and off to the South Downs instead this week. Air B and B refunded our Dubrovnik accommodation booking within twelve hours of my request on their web site. Amazing service. I promptly re-booked the South Downs cottage with them. Jet2 wont refund because the flight is still operating and I cant get a credit note either. Had to move the flights to next year and pay an admin fee.

We went on a caravan holiday in August that was booked in February. We take our grandchildren every year. They love it.
The caravan was impeccably cleaned and as the park was not fully booked it was a pleasant break.
All the facilities were bookable and the kids activities were very well organised. Probably the only holiday we’ll get this year. We’d already cancelled Greece in June and Spain in September. Not that I’m complaining ?

Currently in Llandudno for 2 nights at a lovely hotel! All Covid friendly!
We had a great 4 nights in a cottage in Northumberland plus visited daughter in Nottingham! All fine as we played it safe with everything!!
A change of scenery does you the world of good!
