Where you all going on your hols

Nope not me... I was going to go to Spain but the horrors of those massive 3am queues at the airport has put me off. I'm thinking I'll take a few days up to Wells-next-the sea.. and Hunstanton.. before the kids break up from school...and then decide after the kids return to school whether to take a flight to Spain

How was the Cotswolds , are you still there ?
 
Not a holiday but will be heading out in August for my follow-up tests to see if the cancer is still in remission. You may recall that I was misdiagnosed at the large hospital system that is nearest to where I live (about 25 miles away) so I sought a second opinion and got an accurate diagnosis at an excellent hospital but it's over a thousand miles away. So that is my next trip.

Praying to God that all will be well. And if it is, then I'm going away in October for a holiday.
 
Son has told hubby that he needs the new dump trailer they purchased after Easter.
Wants us to come up to his house over Memorial Day weekend! :sick:
I think son has some time off that weekend ,, has some paving bricks to haul .

We have appointments to keep first of the week before we go.
And I really wanted to decorate both of our parent's graves on Memorial Day.:cry:

I'm getting to be a more reluctant traveler.
Will be about a 6 hour drive via turnpikes.
Can imagine to tolls on truck & trailer will make hubby moan.

Not sure what a "hols" might be, but based on responses, is it a vacation?

My SO's health has pretty much ended any vacation plans for us. Not even up for a day at the beach.
 
I want to go to Melbourne but there is still to much Covid there.
The advice is to arrive 4 - 5 hours before flight time.
There is still mandatory covid testing, mask wearing etc.
Looks like I will be delaying my travel for another 12 months.

We Brits don't have 'vacations', we have Holidays or "Hols". Originally this was a "Holy day" or religious festival, but has come to mean any break away from work or home. Now that Covid restrictions have been relaxed, it's a bit mad here with people rushing to get away.
I'm just getting the campervan up and running again and plan to get away next week for a short break to "shake down" the van.
Before the schools break up, we hope to go to S.W. Scotland to visit various museums and historic buildings.
We've also booked a trip to Utrecht (Netherlands) in September and if everything is OK, Germany in December.
 
Well I was hoping to get to Spain but given the calamity at the airports it looks like I might not get there.. and since hubs and I are now separated, it's more difficult for me to go other places in the UK on my own.. so I'm thinking of taking a couple of days trips to some beach resorts before the kids break up from school in July.. altho' tbh, if this weather doesn't start playing nicely soon I won't even manage that..

I am retired now, so everyday is a holiday. I would like to move from Northern Virginia, but can't decide to where. I was born and raised in Northeastern Ohio, but I am not about to go back there for two reasons. One is too many bad memories and two is that it gets so dang cold and too much snow. I don't ski anymore and I like being warm compared to being cold. Florida is too warm for me, so I was thinking maybe South Carolina or Tennessee.
 
Hollydolly, what are the handiest beach resorts for you? Southend, Walton on the Naze? A long time since I've been there - when I stayed with friends in Essex. When I lived in Hampshire, it was manic in summer with people coming down to the coast - places like Southsea, Bognor and the Witterings. It's relatively quiet here and I don't think we have seaside resorts as such anymore. There are quite a lot of campsites along the coast, but nowhere as many as I've seen some places in England - like round Skegness & Mablethorpe.

If those were my choices, I would take Tennessee. There is a small city just outside of Memphis called Cordova. I had a friend in the Marines that wanted me to visit him the next time I flew into Nashville or Memphis. When I first started flying for United, I flew into Memphis and got there around noon with no other flights that day, so I called him and then went to his home for a visit. I really liked that town. It reminded me of a small city.
