No they do not. Loads of countries you can travel without a 2wk isolation period on return. Sadly Spain is not one of them at the moment but hoping that changes before i go. |

"I feel its not worth the risk going abroad, plus the hassle of it just now I could not be arsed with. Will possibly holiday somewhere in Scotland this year to help local economy recover  "
Totally agree. I'm probably doing the same. |

I will absolutely be going on abroad on holiday. After working all through the lockdown with only every second weekend off from April till a couple of weeks ago I’ll be making the most of my time off
Staycation? I wouldn’t thank you for one. If the hoteliers, public transport companies and Scottish government want people to remain in Scotland this summer then a serious reduction in the prices hotels, restaurants and public transport charge is needed
A weekend up north in howling piss and gale giving your details just for a pint or for not much more money a week to 10 days away in the sunshine?
It’s a no brainer |

"Should been in Florence and the Tuscan hills.
Ended up in Morpeth.
Always next year.
Florence is great, you’ll enjoy if you ever get chance again. "
Regular to Tuscany these days mate. Agree with you, one of my favourite places in the world.
Instead of a refund I took dates for next year, so all sorted for next time already |

We should’ve been Tunisia, but then Thomas Cook happened  then rebooked for Cyprus, then COVID happened but have rebooked for next year so fingers crossed.
We’d also planned a road trip to visit a couple of English fab clubs but obvs that got scuppered as well.
Reckon we’ll do a staycation as well, maybe Oct and at least we have the Edinburgh social in sept to look forward to

I was supposed to be in Florence at the end of May, still waiting for the refund of the flights 
Desperately want to get away anywhere but doesn't look likely. I wouldn't mind so much if the sun came back to us for a little bit so I could just sit and drink gin in my garden |

That's great news. We are at GC now and I have even phoned my work today to ask about that. It looks like I have to phone them tomorrow. Mrs was worried that she would need to cancel her haircut appointment, cause we arrived here before she had a chance to go. |

My other half is away just now, visiting family in a couple of European countries. Unfortunately, I had to stay here as we’re moving house when she gets back and lots of things need packed up. |

Two holidays cancelled. Week in Portugal in early May, and two weeks up north staycation which was the last two weeks before they allowed staycations again 
Portugal rescheduled for mid- September, but not on the air ridge list yet, so fingers crossed |

Was supposed to be going to Krakow but have decided I’m not leaving the country this year. Really don’t fancy it right now.... still think it’s too soon, however staycation is a possibility with the campsites reopening. Probably the easiest socially distanced holiday is pitching the tent. As long as I’ve got wine then I’ll be fine.  |

"I'm due to fly out to Ibiza on the 13th, and waiting to see if they're going to make an exception for the islands.
Somehow I doubt it 
According to the Spanish forums the islands are included
"
Yep, they are at the moment, but they're appealing against the decision so things may change in the next week or so, otherwise I'm cancelling |

Staycation for me this year....
I did hear a woman complaining to who I assume was her friend standing in a queue that she’s been trying to book a cruise in October and there aren’t any, ridiculous she said, I had to chuckle |
