Is anyone becoming a "staycationer"

Just Skyped a friend and it appears to be farily isolated to the coastal area south of Alicante and with temperatures 4/5C it has melting as fast as it came down. Sun  shine inland, no snow not even in the Pyrenees. 10 day forecast is for warmer.

Our normal caravanning year usually consists of a long Spring/early summer trip abroad, some Summer touring in this country and a long  Autumn holiday in the UK. Last year though we had 2 long trips abroad with a small amount in the UK so this year we're having a UK based touring year.

Nothing to do with Brexit or the price os Sterling, just that we enjoy the UK just as much as we enjoy Europe. There are some smashing places in the UK that we've missed visiting so this year we'll be doing something different.

Who knows what we'll be doing or where we'll be doing it come next year.

We took our kids to France for years and now taking our Grandsons. We found it worked out cheaper over all to holiday in France than UK. Just going to the beach in Cornwall can cost an arm and a leg unless your in walking distance. Can't remember ever paying for parking at a beach in France.

The current situation wouldn't stop us going over, the exchange rate is what it is, you just have to live with it.

We will still fly off to foreign holidays and we will still take the van over the water twice a year as long as good health prevails.

We cannot book a ferry yet for our spring break as OH has to see Consultant again in April about his shoulder but if he gets the ok then we will be on a ferry very soon afterwards.

All being well we will be going over again in September for 3 months.

We tend to holiday in this country as we work our way home after a trip abroad with the van. We also go away in winter to do a bit of touring in the UK when its nice and quiet. There will be plenty of time to' holiday' here when we've had enough doing the long drive abroad.

our pals have just arrived at l'estartit and have reported pretty sunny weather.

ive just checked the forecast for the next few days and thats as good a place as any, till around tuesday when it looks like its warming up a bit...

cheers, Peedee....

Well, given that the pound has actually slipped about 8 to 12% since just before Brexit (as opposed to having "plunged"by 20% as reported by the BBC) and the sites in France being massively cheaper than in the UK, then it is very unlikely that we will not go to Europe this year.

I can't see anything that has changed to stop people going  , or have I missed something ???

Nope, you haven't missed a thing, Husky.

We're staying at home merely because we want to this year but have already discussed venues for foreign holiday next year.

Each to his own.
