I voted "yes" I will travel abroad next year, even if I have to quarantine but, in our case, it wouldn't be going to a resort/tourist trap.  It'd be visiting family or staying with friends in rural France.  (Both are clamouring to see us.)  The riskiest parts of the journey would be the 25 minutes spent in the Channel Tunnel.

ETA:  since we're both working from home now, Quarantine when we got back wouldn't be an issue.

Nope - sorry - I can't see any good reason at all to travel overseas for the next 12 months at least.

 Yup but only because the grandparents live in Australia. We meet up somewhere in the world every year. Obv missed this year because of lockdown and unless it all goes bonkers again We will probably go to Australia as i'd rather they not travel with their age.

Yep I will.
If let to run it's course the virus will be done and dusted by early in the new year.

Vaccine seems some way off yet. Making plans seems somewhat pointless when the ability to travel to a particular destination can be changed at a matter of a few hours notice. Not as if there's open borders anyway. Only Europe seems desperate to keep tourism going to sustain the economy. Yet increasingly appears to be paying the price.

No, not because it's unsafe, but just because there's too much potential for hassle with cancellations, lockdowns, quarantines.

We're going to Turkey in a few weeks hopefully, booked it on Boxing Day so not intending to lose my money and looking forward to it. I've had the virus and was like flu for me, so not going to let having to get on a plane put me off and probably no more risky being there on an apartment to being here.

Would like too, most definitely. Big aim 2021 to get on a plane. Have had to kiss goodbye to the family walking holiday up north we were due to go on in just over a week's time due to different areas lockdown uncertainty, know someone lucky enough to get on a plane within last month who managed to fly to somewhere that wasn't on the list yet here we are not able to holiday within the UK.

I voted yes, but this decision is based on being refused a refund by Virgin Holidays (cancelled in May) - so it's a case of have a holiday or forget about the money. I paid with vouchers purchased through my company's employee discount scheme. Virgin holidays won't refund the money so they are holding it for me to use on a future holiday. We planned for this to be our last holiday for a few years (due to personal reasons). We wouldn't choose to go on holiday in 2021 but not prepared to say goodbye to £4000+ without one either.
