Booking your flights and hotels for your Summer holiday?
« on: Tuesday 23 February 21 18:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I was hearing on the news about people are now booking their flights and hotels for their summer getaway. How exciting!

So if you had, oh, let's say £800 each ($1200), where would you go? A cruise perhaps? A fly-drive? Loafing on sunbeds in Benidorm? Have you already booked your holiday yet, or are you thinking of it?

I'd love to go on a self-catering holiday in a little house in Northumbria I reckon. I might even take Sarah too.   ;D

I have a holiday booked for Greece in June.  I'm really not expecting it to go ahead, depends on things such as vaccine passports, PCR tests and quarantine.  I think it's highly unlikely I will be fully vaccinated by June and I am not going to pay for PCR tests, or be prepared to quarantine.  We are very lucky though as we have a static caravan on the welsh coast, so depending on when we are allowed to take holidays we will at least get some time away.  Frankly walks on the beach and a glass of wine on my decking I'll be very content with.

You're too kind Trystan - to offer to take Sarah with you  :-X AND self-catering - are you volunteering?   :-X

We've booked a caravan pitch in Dorset for 2 weeks in mid-June.
(sorry, no room for "Extras"; It's only a 2-berth.

Orkney, if they'd let us over the border  ;D

PS - that's where I'd like to go not where I will go. I think Northumberland will be fine. A picnic with Sarah, Trystan and JenB might be the limit of my adventures  ;D

Mr J & I have a 'credit note' for a 4 day stay in Robin Hood's Bay which we booked for earlyish November but then Kirklees was put in tier 3 & we had to postpone it. Cottage owner has said he will honour the booking but I suspect there will have been a lot of interest since yesterday so we'll have to take a time whenever. That should leave another £400 from Trystan's bounty so we'll have another short stay on the mid-Wales border please.
