That’s a shame. Next year maybe. Several of my friends have had to do the same thing. One of them was in Paris en route to Cuba when the trip was cancelled. He had a couple of days in Paris and returned to the UK while he still could. > On 25 Mar 2020, at 16:29, Stanley Halpin wrote: > >

The inevitable has happened - our trip in April-May of this year is officially cancelled. I have been spending the morning clearing out a number of auto and hotel and other bookings. And soon I will turn to trying to work out something for next year. I was quite saddened each time I clicked

Hi Stan, The Bank Holiday is May 4 - they are always on Mondays. Your fears are justified. You can expect hotels and B to be booked well in advance. The roads will be jammed, and delayed further by traffic accidents. The railways will be packed, and delayed by strikes and unseasonal weather of

I had thought I might be able to set something up for early May, but as my plans firm up, the opportunities diminish. However, variation to the following still quite possible! • Arr Southampton 1 May. Probably… - to Exeter or further southwest, say Plymouth or Tavistock, via
