"But those who have booked and paid for foreign holidays since the pandemic started are just foolish. Either take the risk of losing the money, or just don't book. The world will not fall apart if you don't make it to the Costas this year."
I've cancelled a March holiday. I took the risk of losing my money, and that was a risk I was prepared to take. I lost some but got most back. Doesn't make me foolish though. I'd have spent more had I gone away. I'm not complaining so no need to fret over my mental capability. :-)
I have a holiday booked (recently) in Edinburgh for August for the Fringe. The apartment is fully refundable in the event it doesn't go ahead..
I've recently changed some of the bookings to a September holiday, and some to to next March. I'd probably lose some money on both of those if they were cancelled but at least they are "in the bag" should I be able to go, and I have the dates, location, accommodation and flights I want and won't be squabbling with a million worriers who hold off booking till they know it's all safe.
