If you had the chance for a quick holiday in the sun in November, would you?

I've not left the UK for 2.5 years and I'd love to nip abroad for some sun on my skin. Like many people, my life has been very difficult over the past year and a half - a relationship breakdown, bereavement, job loss etc. Things look like they might be improving for me, finally.

But I have no idea where I would go, where would be warm, where we are allowed to go, what the restrictions are and whether it would be a risk anyway with potential changes to the covid rules.

Oh my god yes. I’d love to get off this island for a bit! I just can’t be bothered wrangling the testing/quarantine rules and potential changes though. But if someone worked all that for me, I’d bite their hand off. I’m watching for suggestions!!

Definitely. I just spent 10 days in Greece, although I would have preferred it warmer.

My boss is going on a work trip to the Caribbean in a couple of weeks. I'm insanely jealous.

Hell yes. I’ve had a hell of a year health-wise and I did enjoy a two week sunny UK holiday in the summer but am recovering from a very nasty cold and could do with some recuperation in the sunshine!!

Absolutely provided you're double jabbed, not much testing required. We're jus back from Tenerife it was 28 degrees and wonderful.

Yes! I'm off to fuerteventura next week! 😁

Yes! Without a second thought.

Yes!!! Mexico in just over 2 weeks for me!

no because more flights = more climate change.

i'd love a break but i'm sticking to the UK for the moment. Or there are plenty of bits of France that are easy to reach by train.

Absolutely would!

Egypt, an all inclusive resort. Need proof of vaccination to enter Egypt. Have to book a private day 2 LFT for return. Also complete an online UK form 2 days before return.

I am doubled jabbed. It seems that most of the offers are in Mexico, the Canaries, Carribbean or Corfu. I haven't looked into the other entry and return requirements yet. I might also have to go alone - though I will check with a friend or two.

I'd want it to be warm though.

Just back from Malaga. Cheap and easy to get to and was fantastic weather - do it!

Do it. I was in a similar position to you and just decided “screw it” and went on a last minute trip a few weeks ago. Don’t underestimate the healing power of being somewhere different and the warmth of the sun on your skin!

TheGirlInTheGreenDress where did you go?

Canaries is best closest bet for winter sun. Do it and enjoy!

Go to Cyprus. It will be lovely and warm.
I am supposed to be there now but my dd caught Covid and we are stuck here.

Yep. Canaries.

Another vote for the canaries. Just the thought of it puts a smile on my face.

Canaries seems the warmest and with the cheapest flights.

Corfu definitely won't be warm in November.

Yes, just booked the canaries, just a cheapish package as they are more secure than independent travel

Canaries seems the warmest and with the cheapest flights.

Which one are you thinking about visiting. Playa Blanca in lanzarote is lovely.

Sweet Jesus yes. I was trying to see if we could afford 6 nights away somewhere before the baby comes but alas, we cannot.

If I won a holiday starting tomorrow I'd be calling in sick. Covid taught me life is too short and employers don't give a shit about you, no matter how "key" they tell you you are.
