Coronavirus, anyones holiday dashed?

[macafee2]

My wifes holiday, I was going too but it was her holiday to the USA has for now been dashed, travel to USA not recommended. She only paid the balance a week or so ago. She is going to look into when she can cancel and get a refund but had been really excited about the trip to include the Grand Canyon.

Anyone else had their holiday dashed?

Think Mum and Dad's holiday to Madeira in May won't happen.

They have more or less accepted that. Both being just 80 and 82 are obviously at risk in an aeroplane so possibly for the best

I am booked in with a pal to have a weekend at Silverstone Tour and May Airshow at Duxford. Using value Travelodge so no refund there for our two rooms for three nights.

Was really looking forward to that but safety first

The bigger disappointment will be my 10 days in July based at Tattershall in Lincolnshire and at each end IWM Duxford Flying Legends and the end weekend at RIAT at Fairford.
I can't see either going ahead given international flavour to them.

Having said that my disappointment is nothing to the serious heath issues some of us are likely to face.

Most probably, due to go the Florida in 3 weeks

Not me, but my brother and his wife have holidays booked for the US and Cyprus this year - both of which are unlikely to happen .

On a different note, a friend of mine estimates he's lost around £19K in the value of shares he's been investing in . He's not complaining though, and says he finds it rather exciting (the markets, not the virus) and is still up quite considerably on his original investments. He has always been canny with money so will no doubt come out smiling when the dust settles.

We can’t bear to watch the business news Cliff, as we lost £120K in the past few days on the stock market and since my return from London on 13 March, I have been told to go into self-quarantine for 14 days, what else? we have had to cancel our flights to South Africa on Wednesday. Am I allowed to have a moan

I think you've earned the right Phil - scary times. I really hope the markets bounce back, that really is too much to lose .

Fingers crossed for you & Jessica,

We're down £25k and will probably also have to cancel our much anticipated two week holiday in Spain in late May. Going to check how we paid and all policies before acting. Good luck to you and everyone else going forwards.
