I tend to use both for searches, some are better on FindMyPast, others on Ancestry, although I do find the emphasis by Ancestry on American records to be a little annoying.
No - two abandoned holidays in two years - 2020 and 2021 - but then our bank balance is better! We do have a motorhome so have our own "hotel" but the thought of being stranded - happened once due to ferry strikes but still not a happy prospect. Better safe than sorry. AND. luckily, I can blame someone else for our abandoned holidays.
