... will you go?
In a quandary here with one month before hols. I think gov guidance will be ok to travel so flights by then will be on. So if we don't go we lose money as it's choice not restrictions.
Would you feel safe enough to go?

Yep. South of France and we’re holding our breath to see what’s announced this week. Due to go late July and we’re told the local area is fully open. To be honest so long as the beach isn’t crowded that’s us sorted. If the flights aren’t on (but I think they may be) we’ll probably drive, although I’d much rather not. But none of us are vulnerable nor is anyone we associate with.

Our holiday to Brittany for the end of August has just been cancelled as the company are not operating on that site now for 2020.

I'm torn between disappointment that yet another thing has been cancelled, and relief that the choice has been taken out of our hands. I think we would have traveled (ferry crossing) but realistically was concerned about what the experience would actually be like.

We've got the option of driving if flights are cancelled but atm am very 50:50.

If FCO change their current stance on essential travel only to Greece, we'll go. Booked for August to Halkidiki.
I have the antibodies. Someone of the family have likely already had it too. All fit and well. As long as insurance is watertight we'd probably go.

We’re supposed to be driving to France mid August. The site we’re booked at is up and running and there will be no refund if we cancel. I guess if restrictions on travel are lifted we’ll go- I’m at work, the kids are at school and as long as we’re not exposed and consequently quarantined in the meantime, (when we would of course stay at home) then it doesn’t feel more risky for us to go to a place with less virus around than there is here. There is of course the question of whether we as Brits will be welcome elsewhere....

We have a holiday booked to Cyprus. If the FCO and the Cypriots change their stance, we will be going.

If the government advice changes, we will go on our booked holiday to Spain later in the summer. So desperate for a break and we’ll be in a quiet self-catering apartment so no big hotel with lots of rules to deal with.
