Vacation V Staycation Costs

We sadly accepted a while back that our hoped for trip abroad, in May/June, would not be happening and have booked on a two week rally in June-which we are very much looking forward to.

Over the last couple of days I have been looking at options for July/August and wondered how prices compare.

Normally we would go abroad at the times I mention so never look to see how over there compares with here.

Anyway, just looked at the price for a 10 day stay at sites of similar levels of quality and facilities, one in Cornwall and one in the Vendee.

The price for Cornwall, at Pentewan Sands, is £498.10.

The price for France at La Yole via the club and including a BF overnight crossing with cabin is £488.36

We don't go 'over there' to save money but its another example to show that considering 'going' as opposed to 'staying' need not cost a lot more.

A strange thing to say about getting back on topic as it was you who posted the (rather abhorrent) off topic dolphin photos in the first place?

Thought you said you had gone David? Only took you 40 minutes to come back - It was 6 hours last time? 

No you have missed the point of my reply, you posted:

...and in the vain hope of getting back on topic I will leave you all too it.

My point is you were the one who took everyone off topic by posting your dolphin photos.

I take no pleasure in attacking anyone, never have.

 I would have more reservations about several hours in an aircraft personally. I loved our trips to Cuba but the aftermath of 10 hour flights on my chest did make me wonder which was the better option.

We are still some 11 weeks from going and the flight is less than 5 hrs. Don't forget the flight will be entirely British and the likelihood is that the vast majority will have had the vaccine and most likely they will have had both jabs. If this is not sufficient to allay any fears then life really will have stopped.

The hotel in the DR was the Dreams La Romana but has now been taken over and is now called the Hilton La Romana. Cats, kayaks and SUPs still  part of the AI deal.

I thought Rufs had made a good point in reply to your post, David, and "liked" it for what it said, nothing to do with "attacking" you. If you had just accepted it as a different viewpoint the following posts would probably not have been needed or made.

But, sadly, as so often, you had to post a provocative reply suggesting that spending money was in some way synonymous with enjoying life. And then of course the equally provocative comment about "awaiting likes" from the "US" which as we all know has absolutely nothing to do with Bidenland.  frown

Agree 100% with that, Mikey. We too will, hopefully, be flying again this year, though not till September and then a relatively short flight. Looking further ahead, I think we will probably do similar next year - getting back to long haul flights further afield the following year when, with any luck, vaccinations will be pretty much universal? (Fingers firmly crossed) smile
