Let's Move Another Holiday

I'm sure we weren’t alone in having to cancel and rebook holidays last year and I really hoped that now we have a vaccine that having to move holidays was coming to an end.

Last year we rebooked one holiday 4 times - it is now planned for October 2021, having originally being booked for March 2020. In fact maybe I should issue a national alert for Lockdown 4 to begin in October 2021 as so far every time we have rebooked it the start date of this particular holiday has coincided with the start of a Lockdown. We also cancelled or rearranged a further 2 trips last year. We did actually manage to squeeze two short 3 and 4 days breaks away into September and October but that was the total holiday time we had in 2020. The October one was extra interesting as we were stopping in a hotel and actually got sent to our rooms at 22:00 as instructed by Boris I hasten to add, not the hotel. That’s an experience I hope to never enjoy again.

Hope to enjoy views like this again in October

We normally camp in the summer but I didn't even want to attempt risking that as campsites at the best of times, no matter how well maintained, aren't the most hygienic of places, add Covid into the mix and no thank you. I'd rather live to camp another year.

This year we were looking forward to three of the cancelled 2020 holidays taking place and also adding in another short break at the end of March. The break in March isn't looking too hopeful now, it looks like we will be cancelling that one soon, but never mind we have optimistically booked a replacement holiday in November. 

 

One of the views it looks like we will be missing in March

Camping, which I was hopeful may return this summer, is now debatable it will very much depend upon how much the Covid figures drop and if everyone who normally goes abroad does so instead of filling up the UK campsites they normally go nowhere near. I suspect at best we will get to camp in September or more likely in 2022.

You have to love the game of spin the holiday booking, makes getting away on the actual holiday feel like a real achievement.
