sage Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am thinking of spending a week in the spare room this summer. Not the biggest of accommodation but a slightly different view and a little cooler than my room. Not much journey time and I shouldn't get a dodgy stomach from the food and water. I may make up the samey feeling by speaking appalling French all week, eating pastries for breakfast and watch Dunkirk whilst moaning bitterly.

I can come round stinking of garlic and sneer at you through the window if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be welcome at our house - we are enlightened, and appreciate those who socially distance from vampires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If you are in France: "Bien cuit". Apparently that is bordering on blasphemous and will come cremated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dawn Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I must be absolutely mad, booked some cheap flights to Fuerta Ventura with the in laws family for November. Got the tickets a month ago when they were dirt cheap. Figure, I have travel insurance and even if I miss out its only 250 quid ?♂️ Free Accommodation through family. Surely this will have blown over by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a holiday to Mexico booked for August but even if we could go, I'm not sure I'd like to spend 10 hours in a plane re-circulating other people's breath!

I doubt your open top bus will make it to The Canary Islands. Not in the state it's in! I'd prepare to be disappointed if I were you! Oh... What's that? You always do? Fair play.

Surely this will have blown over by then Are you sure your travel insurance will be valid if you booked the flights after the FO advice not to travel was issued? I’d doubt it unless the advice is lifted by then. I also don’t think your insurance will cover you for travelling with the in laws ?. Not something I’d like to face.

Yesterday, our flights to Florida were finally cancelled by a Virgin which, is a relief. At least we’ll now get a refund (eventually). Airport parking cancelled with no fee. Car hire through Alamo cancelled online with no fee. Just need to claim on the insurance for the villa. Still hope to maybe get away to France late August/early September.
