Learner Dad: The pandemic is over and it's time to plan our holidays

We're considering going on a second holiday without the children

How many holidays are you going on this year?

It’s a tricky question. A lot of us have travel vouchers burning a hole in our pockets, rolled over from last year. But I’m sure there are people, particularly those in the hospitality sector, who need the money for something more important than sun and sand in July. We didn’t all have the same pandemic. That said, it feels like travel websites are groaning with traffic these days. I like to look at flights this time every year, just to get a whiff of holidays, and I’ve never seen response times so slow.
