Agree with this. Plus we have some gorgeous places to visit and stay in our own country.

have you looked out the window today? it's grim here :laugh:

:laugh:

been a beautiful warm sunny day here

Im not going abroad this year.
Id rather wait until Italy has finished their vaccination programme.
They're doing well and things are improving.

I wouldn't be even thinking about it,never mind doing so.

I think it's something people should postpone,but I know they won't.

Photos of queues at airports always give a bit of a distorted picture tbh. There's very few people actually going on holiday and long queues will probably be more to do with the admin around testing and distancing etc plus there's probably a lot of airport staff still on furlough

I don't really begrudge anyone for going now though, easy to say to wait but for all we know it might not be possible in a couple of months and the lists might change, or people might have had it booked for a long time, or they want to avoid what might really be a rush on holidays in July driving up prices (especially on school hols) and causing everywhere to be fully booked or packed out. It's probably pretty blissful in Portugal right now with quiet beaches and no problem getting a table at any of the restaurants or bars

Well tbh even other places like just going out for drinks and the cinema, still hasn't made me rush out as there's still caution and masks :shrug:. I still want things to calm down more,but that's me.

i think the overwhelming majority feel the same.

Sensible like a lot of people tbh. There's always that minority though. They'll be the ones kicking off first about potential future lockdowns too. :laugh:

The EU are set to relax rules and will allow Brits who are fully vaccinated to travel without testing ..:umm2: is this wise given the rise of the Indian variant :umm2:

we need to save our economy

Nope won't be going on any holiday this year. Wouldnt be going abroad anyway and haven't for 8 years due to the cost. I'd happily go on a UK break this year but the greedy people have put up the prices way to high so that won't be happening either

We're meant to be going in September to menorca been cancelled twice already

I want to go to the seaside. It's only about an hour away.
Just waiting for the good weather :laugh:
