Staycation or Holiday Abroad after Lockdown

I'm planning to leave my village for the first time in two months (or longer if necessary) and work it out as I go along.

Not keen on going back on planes anytime soon.

I'd love to visit my family in France though, i was supposed to go the week France went in lockdown so that didn't happen.

Holiday excuses used to be ‘cant afford it’, now I have the money I am too afraid to travel anywhere. May just land up camping in my back garden!

It will be interesting to see what the decision is on holiday lets such as cottages, campsites etc in the UK and if these will be permitted to open over the next month or two. Even if there is an initial decision to agree I think it is risky given what's happened with other countries after relaxing restrictions and there could then be backtracking.

I should have been in Maldives and India now. Whilst I am keen to travel abroad again I think there will be issues with some worldwide destinations granting visas and wanting to keep the virus contained.

Can't see holidays being a real possibility for us this year, normally go abroad but that's not an option for us this year now , so maybe some day trips and odd weekends away in the UK.

I would love to get away as soon as possible, to somewhere hot, but it would be too risky

I would love to get away but don't think it will be this year. This topic reminded me of something I watched on daytime tv - There are hundreds of British workers still stuck on the cruise ships and can't get home, even though the passengers were taken off in March. They've been confined to their pokey cabins for most of their day and mental health issues rife - makes my holiday hope seem trivial.

It may be difficult for a lot of people to take a holiday this year. Many will find it a little awkward to ask employers for a week or two off when the lockdown finally ends. A lot of companies will now be struggling financially and may have to layoff staff. Asking for even more time off if you haven't worked for 2 months+ could potentially have a detrimental impact on your employment status. Especially if you work for a company that doesn't treat employees very well.

If possible to go abroad once lockdown is lifted im wanting to travel to America

No plans yet. My job involves travelling and staying over in hotels. At the moment working from home but nervous about the idea of going travelling at the minute. I’m going to see how well I do with that first

I was meant to be in California holidays anyhow still want to go there but definitely not this year , would love to move out of UK ( even more now ) bit don’t want to take any planes this year so thinking of driving whenever we can , and sell our apartment whenever we can , it will be long drive but might be safer than planes and airports

Caravan holiday booked for September but got realise won't happen x things are never going be the same again for anyone even when this all over anywhere life is too short x

Weekend away in the UK somewhere and plan something big elsewhere - just not sure where yet! Or when...

Absolutely not thinking of a holiday at this time. Everyone, other than front-line key workers, have just been at home for months. I think a lot of people will be strapped for cash, so holidays will not be front and centre in a lot of peoples' minds.

My holiday, that I should have been on this week, had to be cancelled. My partner is struggling to get the money back that he has spent at Spanish Hotels who are refusing to give it back. In my mind that is theft! Luckily we have travel insurance that should pay out to cover these costs. Easyjet seems to be offering a full refund, but we will have to wait. Lastminute.com looks like they will indeed give a full refund; eventually.

It will be interesting to see how the general public react to Boris' statement last night. It was not clear at all. Lots of debate and lots of questions...

Xx

I think even if it is plausible that abroad travel restrictions are lifted, I would probably not think it safe to do so. I am in no rush to, not because I don't want to travel, but I think my priorities have shifted a lot. I am not even banking on a 'staycation' although if this is possible that would be lovely.

We really look forward to our yearly holiday abroad but even if we can go this year I will definitely be giving it a miss, don’t think I’d feel comfortable, it’s bad enuff if you have to go to the shops if you can’t get an online delivered and as we don’t know if we have the virus you wouldn’t want to risk giving it to anyone else Safer to avoid any unnecessary travel at the moment but of coarse this is just my personal opinion
