My holiday got cancelled 2 weeks ago. If I'm honest I'm a bit relieved about it with all the restrictions in place but I've now given up 2 weeks in Bulgaria for a week at Wemyss Bay

No they do not. Loads of countries you can travel without a 2wk isolation period on return. Sadly Spain is not one of them at the moment but hoping that changes before i go.

I will absolutely be going on abroad on holiday. After working all through the lockdown with only every second weekend off from April till a couple of weeks ago I’ll be making the most of my time off

Staycation? I wouldn’t thank you for one. If the hoteliers, public transport companies and Scottish government want people to remain in Scotland this summer then a serious reduction in the prices hotels, restaurants and public transport charge is needed

A weekend up north in howling piss and gale giving your details just for a pint or for not much more money a week to 10 days away in the sunshine?

It’s a no brainer

Staycations here, perhaps if we all do this it will balance the tourist industry for all countries, at least a wee bit.

Regular to Tuscany these days mate. Agree with you, one of my favourite places in the world.

Instead of a refund I took dates for next year, so all sorted for next time already

We should’ve been Tunisia, but then Thomas Cook happened

then rebooked for Cyprus, then COVID happened

but have rebooked for next year so fingers crossed.

We’d also planned a road trip to visit a couple of English fab clubs but obvs that got scuppered as well.

Reckon we’ll do a staycation as well, maybe Oct and at least we have the Edinburgh social in sept to look forward to

wherever i need to be

Was supposed to be going to Krakow but have decided I’m not leaving the country this year. Really don’t fancy it right now.... still think it’s too soon, however staycation is a possibility with the campsites reopening. Probably the easiest socially distanced holiday is pitching the tent. As long as I’ve got wine then I’ll be fine.
