I'd rather stay at home then. 

I can read a book, look at the flowers, and do the cooking just the same as at home.

Not much of a holiday :(

We have never had a package holiday  :o - we booked self catering via 'pets welcome' directly with the owner of the property.  No extra insurance as we can afford to 'lose' a holiday.  Hotels we booked directly, after looking on the net to see what the bathrooms are like  ;D

We read.  We eat out when my anxiety allowed.  We walk.  Sit, view, enjoy.  DH goes fishing.  No need to mix with anyone unless we want to.  Restful if the anxiety keeps away as we are not having to water our pots, engage with neighbours, clean etc..

I'd LOVE to go to my lodge in the wilds,it's stunning where it is and for me personally,there's nothing nicer or more relaxing than sitting on the balcony looking over the loch,wonder when they?ll lift travel restrictions  :'(

Not yet.  Holidays should be way down on the list of essentials.  Keeping people at home leaves NHS space for 'locals'.  Avoids less chance of RTAs etc..

I think cafes could open if people were able to book ahead?  Same with garden centres, libraries, gym centres .........

The bloke on the tele said yesterday that even if you've paid by credit card, it still could be a battle getting your money back. He said some have, some are arguing to get it back. 🤷‍♀️

We've booked with Jet2 aswell Yorkie. But they?re only going up,to 17 th June at the moment.
So we?re still waiting.

I have heard that CC companies won't pay out if the airline offers vouchers.

So regretting not taking a holiday abroad last year now :'( Have a feeling we may not even go next year, due to the risk of prices sky rocketing.

I think that companies will be so desperate to fill beds that there may be discounts ;-). I would be OK going away if there was a view to enjoy even if we weren't allowed far once we get there.  But I think that the properties with view will be snapped up!

it's the flights that could be expensive as they have a lot of revenue to catch up on.

Littleminnie that's what I'm thinking, especially if airlines collapse, then there will be no competition.

The airlines are talking about having gaps between each passenger  ;D - that might tempt me to fly  :-X
