We had a Caribbean booked for the end of March.Should of been coming home Easter Monday.

Really gutted that all this kicked off and it was cancelled.

We got a full refund so have already booked for next February.

Hopefully all will be ok by then.

Stay safe everyone.

Hopefully you will get going in February..

in reply to Chocolate41

Its gutting isn't it when you are looking forward to something only to have it cancelled at the last minute!

I'm glad I hadn't booked anything for later on in the year now but I was gutted though when things I had been looking forward to were cancelled at the last minute as well but I'm OK now.

So on Saturday I flew out to Mallorca and I am currently enjoying coastal walks, sea swimming and a few glasses of bubbly cava with my evening meal! I’ll be flying back on the 14th 😎 NOT!! 🤭

But on the plus side I’m enjoying the garden, painting sheds and the deck is now clean and varnished! 😇

Bali, Flores and Island hopping for our anniversary. Just happy to be safe and well. Wouldn’t book it again. Feel it wasn’t meant to be.

The fjords look so beautiful 😍

in reply to Comfortnotspeed

The Fjords are amazing..

Sure there will be next year for us all to make up for it. :)

I hope you get to go to Norway, it looks incredibly beautiful. When are you supposed to go?

This is the year for all of our friends' weddings, three already postponed in the UK, with 5 still to come between August and December- one in New York, one in Texas and one in Portugal.. we really hope we can still go! Those were our big holidays for the year..who knows if we will be able to travel abroad by August though :(

in reply to SadieHU

Thank you.

August/September, i havebeen that eway before and its amazing.

So they will have the weddings at another time, will you go to them then if they change the dates?

SadieHU profile image
SadieHU in reply to

That's good! Hopefully there is a chance then :) We will hopefully go to the rescheduled dates if they do reschedule them. It could be a case of being able to travel within your own country, but not abroad so perhaps they wouldn't reschedule as we are some of the only people travelling from outside of those countries. We will have to see though. As long as everyone can stay safe and get healthy, that is the most important thing to me!

in reply to SadieHU

True, staying safe and healthy is the main priority.

Things can always be done when this is all finished.

in reply to Buddy34

Buddy34 in reply to

Yes it is beautiful, I live in Scotland and have been going to Oban for the past 3 years and last year after 27 years together we got married in secret and then surprised all the family.

It really is a lovely place and while we're there we get the ferry over to Craignure and visit Mull and the surrounding areas. 😊

in reply to Buddy34

A secret wedding eh, very nice indeed :D

I used to go to Fort William every so often , i will have to get over again soon i think, its a amazing place and i do miss it.

Buddy34 in reply to

Fort William is beautiful also , I was up there 2 years ago it was 30 degrees that day . We went out on the small boat to seal island then went to the Nevis Range to go on the mountain gondolas 😊

in reply to Buddy34

I go for the mountains and a look around, i find it very relaxing and calm up there.

I've got a weekend away booked beginning of June, back home to Yorkshire with a evening canal cruise with meal, don't know if will go ahead and if it does will it be a good idea to be cooped up on a coach with 60 people.

Only cruise I've ever fancied is down the fjord's and maybe seeing the northern lights. Hope you get yours

Oh and how could I forget hopefully going away for my birthday in Oct!!!! To Hampshire

in reply to Craftyperson

You never know you might get to go, the virus might be gone by then.

i have done it before but different ports, i hope i get to go too ... :D

Had trip to canaries booked for my 70th in April and my daughter and son in law were flying over from USA to surprise me there so sad. We had a few other hols booked this year,Norfolk for hubby birthday in May, Derbyshire with 14 friends in a mini bus in July, Warner hol with 2 cousins in August and one in Sept which prob won't happen as it's for Sorrento Italy. 😥 good thing I have a garden which this year will look lovely with all the attention it will get 😀

in reply to Pulfs

It's a shame about it all, except your garden which will look amazing this year 😁👍

We were going on a cruise this month but obviously it has been cancelled. We are supposed to be going to Yorkshire for a week in August but have doubts that it will take place now. We had also hoped to go away in the autumn but we won't be booking anything until things have settled.

Last year we only managed four days away in March because I was waiting for an operation which we were told would be around June time and that I would need about two months to recover from it. In the event I didn't have it until November so we could have had our holidays anyway. Two years ago we were having an extension built so with all the upheaval we only got a short break away that year as well.

We had been saying that this year it would be better and we could have several holiday, but it obviously wasn't meant to be.

in reply to

That's a shame, you will get away some day I hope.

in reply to

Thank you handyman, as long as we keep safe and well that is what is most important.

in reply to

That is very true.. 😊

I had a trip to Madeira booked for May but cancelled it before lockdown so just lost deposit. I also had 2 Shearings coach trips to Cornwall booked for March & April, which I also cancelled before lockdown & received balances back but not deposits. But now I know the trips were cancelled I wonder if I could get the deposits back too. Shearings offices are closed but I could email them.

in reply to clarehealsworldwide

You should get them back if they cancelled them.. I hope it works out for you. 👍

in reply to happyinlove

Similar to myself, I have changed this years Norwegian cruise to a river cruise on the Rhine next year.
