Get Away (if you can!)

Like everyone else my holidays have been cancelled this year – 5 to be exact – but I did actually get away in August

I was of course concerned that we were doing the right thing but like everyone else we were desperate to get away for a week so after our plans to Ibiza, Majorca and Portugal were cancelled we headed off to Crete and I am so very glad we made the decision to go

The flights were fine, the airport was deserted so we found a quiet corner to wait for our flight.

All passengers wore masks on the flight but it wasn’t a problem and we also wore masks in the taxi to the hotel

As soon as we checked in all of my stress and anxiety disappeared, it was amazing to feel ‘normal’ for an entire week!

All of the hotel staff wore masks and there were stringent cleaning and sanitising systems in place, I felt completely safe in the hotel and as we were outside all of the time I can honestly say I felt safer than I might have done on a crowded British beach

It was great to see families having fun, throwing their kids in the pool and enjoying their holidays in the sun – this is what we have all needed – a week or normalness!

I would strongly suggest to everyone – if you can get away this year 100% do it and have a break, a change of scene and if possible some late summer sun

Despite all of the warnings against travel I would not hesitate to get on another flight and will be heading to Tenerife on October!
