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.

Given the escalation on the continent, I can see domestic restrictions ending in June but not necessarily overseas ones. Introducing this £5k fine legislation just for a matter of months hardly seems worth the admin. We aren't going anywhere 'over there' anytime soon. Equally if activities on the continent are seriously restricted due to Covid, would we want to go anyway?

Spain says it will allow in Brits as of end of March provided you have a negative covid test, but the vast majority of people who live in Spain are not happy.

They are still not allowed to travel outside of the  province they live in, so my daughter who lives in the provence of Valencia will not be able to travel to her holiday cottage in a village just outside Loha for the Easter hols because that is in the province of Granada. But who cares we will not be allowed to travel anyway, so sit back and let the Germans doing the spreading, we will just continue vaxing laughing

If the virus, as suspected now  comes to these shores as over the water,that BJ has intimated , then the Roadmap for this country out of the virus ,looks a bit "iffy"

Suspect the simple response, to the repeated pointless questions, as no one knows, will be that May 2021 is the earliest-so not iffy, just necessarily flexible.

The wording of the roadmap means all dates are flexible, or iffy.😀 

Only when the government is sure that it is safe to move from one step to the next will the final decision be made. The decision will be based on four tests:

the vaccine deployment programme continues successfully
evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated
infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS
our assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new Variants of Concern

Data not dates are the buzz words I believe.

France in September is looking very iffy.☹️

I was not disagreeing with you, just, as I posted, saying what I thought the response would be to any assertion, to Boris, that his plan was 'iffy'.

As the thread is related to foreign travel that was the date, in May I was referring to. June, I believe, is the lifting of all restrictions?

Of course it would help if our vans/MH were classed as a second home as trips abroad to those, for purposes of checking or selling them,are, apparently to be allowed.

Just been listening to Michael O'Leary, the boss man of Ryan Air and he is so optimistic about summer holidays going ahead he is laying on extra flights for June July and August. His reasoning for this is all the back log of vouchers for postponed holiday to be used and the coming increase of vaccine availability across countries which will result in a speed up of vaccinations in the next 2/3 of months which along with lobbying from hoteliers and countries with a large dependency on tourism will result in the opening up of boarders.
