Who's Booking Holidays ?

[Peajay]

The temptation is there, I try and do a long haul 'biggie' every year for winter sun and a couple of others throughout the year. It's killing me not being able to book anything, especially as my lady has a big birthday in Feb.

Yes, there are some great offers out there, but is it worth the gamble? Even if you can go, if there isn't a vaccine it's just not going to be the same. We squeezed in Oz just before all of this materialised and had flights booked for San Fran next month (now cancelled) and was so looking forward to more, but deciding to play safe and play the waiting game.

Anyone thrown caution to the wind and booked regardless?

Off to Greece Friday,£200 for a week

[Heisenberg]

Went to Munich for 5 days at the beginning of the month. Apart from wearing a mask on the aeroplane (which you can remove when eating/drinking) and wearing a mask as you're being seated in pubs/restaurants - it didn't feel different at all.

Got flights booked for NYC next week (they were orginially booked before Covid for May 2020) that will have to be refunded.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Wrote off this year and banked all the refunds.

I've written off this year too, but still awaiting some refunds.

Have just postponed a month in Hamburg in October to March next year.

9 days in Pembs will be the limit of it for me, although work may yet require me to travel.

Quite the opposite...

Here in Greece, face masks indoors everywhere, Midnight curfew so no kissing randoms

Airport and plane, everyone very well behaved...we didn’t fly from Cardiff

Sun and space..

Much safer than in my local or Lidl or Morrison’s in the Rhondda

I’m not a selfish arsehole, I bet you’ve been closer to people in your local.

Did you research the incident rate and r rate to the area you travelled to before going there? And, if 2 weeks after you return and a spike is identified in a place you travelled to, what actions will you take?

Who are you- The police?

Have to agree with this but Brits by and large are very selfish. No surprise France and Spain has started to get 2nd waves since they let the Brits back in. Croatia, who had kept it largely under control with very few cases, have now had a spike too.

Hysterical, so you say we are transmitting!!!

Look at their bordering countries..,that’s where they are coming from

What is the point you are making?

The point of lockdown was to stop transmission between households. At this stage, I would have thought it would make sense to stop transmission between the UK and other countries. But, apparently, we have to keep the travel industry going. The same travel industry that hiked prices last week to take advantage of Brits having to cut short their holiday to avoid quarantine.

Anyone travelling abroad at the moment for leisure is being completely irresponsible in my opinion.

Ha ha agreed, there are more Brits left in Britain, so if we are the spreaders, why is it worse there than here?

Saundersfoot next week in the pissing down rain.

I’m down in Pembrokeshire now, in the pissing down rain. After the weather we’ve had last 6 months I reckon this is long overdue.
I rarely come down in August as the weather is always a bit dodgy and it’s busy. Give me June or September anyday

As long as its not lashing down I dont mind a bit of drizzle or showers. Is it busy down there?

My mates there camping, he said it's shit pissing down all the time and Tenby is packed and you can't park anywhere he said it's the worst holiday he's ever had, he's a moaning bastard mind.

I'm not long home after a week in Broadmoor (rented a cottage), didn't find it that bad to be honest, Tenby and Saundersfoot busy but not ridiculous, eating out okay (wise to pre-book), no problems parking anywhere either, although we tend to park at Coppett Hall or Tenby North Beach car park, don't think I've ever had trouble parking in either down the years. Folly Farm, Oakwood both great, no problems (unless queuing for grub or drinks!).

Wouldn't have fancied camping, we were overlooking a field that emptied rapidly in the last 24 hours. Surprised nobody blew away!

We were there mid July and it was very quiet and the weather was pretty good. Have a few days self catering booked in Doniford near Watchet in October, Covid permitting.

I lead walks in the Quantocks and in the area around Watchet/Carhampton/Dunster. Very pleasurable.

have you been to Dunster castle for any of the medival stuff ? ? ? ?

[The Bloop]

Supposed to be going to Majorca in October for a trip we originally had booked for last May.
Cant see it happening.

[Hilts]

I moved my flights to Greece from this August to next July. Also rearranged the accommodation. All free of charge.

Could have gone but decided against it.

Hopefully things will be better next year.

I dont think id book a new holiday or flight abroad at this moment though.
