I’ve not booked anything yet but we normally go to turkey but I’ll be 20 weeks pregnant so looking wanting to stay more in the EU.

would you go to Cyprus?

ive looked at the canaries too but I know they are terribly windy and it seems a bit too cold.

realistically its may bank hols or we won’t be going away this year, which wouldn’t feel too fair on my 2 other children

It looks barely 24 /25 degrees and is quite windy. You really need the sun to heat up the pool or else it would be miserable no?

Lanzarote and Fuerterventura tend to be a bit windier but the weather will be lovely in May - I've been to the Canaries in Jan, Feb, April, August, October and November and even in the January it was pleasant

Yes I’m booked. I’ll only not go if Tui cancel.

I was looking at TUI too

No. I’d go to the Canaries. It’ll be a lovely temperature there in May.

No I wouldn’t go to Cyprus now, I would be worried about the war escalating as it has already been affected and the risk is still present. Canaries much safer

yes I go regularly in may half term, to the east coast (kapparis, protaras, ayia napa area) I have family there and we've just bought a house. The weather will be lovely, the water will be warming up and it will be warm enough to spend the day on the beach.

My husband is popping over a week in April to look after his mum.
