Are you going away on holiday this year? (feddit.uk)

We're planning on going away this year and are very likely to be staying in the UK.

I'd love to go abroad and get a little place near the sea and hire a car so we can go off and explore but it's so expensive, and with having two young children I'm not convinced a package holiday would be practical (I'm thinking of the logistics of hauling them around the airports at crazy hours and having to share a room with them).

Have you got any plans to go away this year? If so, where are you off to?

Holidays and travel in general is increasingly more and more expensive. I have a lot of sympathy for people with children who might be limited to school holidays when the prices are that much higher.

I've found North Africa really interesting or the Middle East (but I totally appreciate the reluctance with going there right now). It might cost you overall the same as a short haul trip to Europe for a holiday but with the added benefit that it's somewhere newer and more exciting than Europe can offer.

There's a whole world out there to explore and it's a shame that expense is the major limiting factor in doing that (time and distance largely being conquered).

Failing this, take a trip up to God's Own Country ™️, Yorkshire.

My only experience of Africa has been Tunisia which I really enjoyed. There's so much of the world I'd love to explore but, time, money, children!
