Failing miserably in my holiday hunt

t is a while since I took a holiday, but at the moment I am expecting an operation to occur almost anytime. This rather restricts my movements to a great extent, so I decided to try a short break instead.
Since I was informed that the operation will take place on Wednesday, I chose to look online for a cheap 3 day trip starting tomorrow or Saturday.
Usually I can find cheap offers in abundance on the internet, but so far all the available 3 day trips appear dearer than most 7 day holidays I can only assume that this is due to the flight scheduling, which tends to be directed towards week or fortnight holidays.
I even considered t6he Channel Islands as an option, but the prices still exceed some one week holidays in Spain, Turkey or Greece. It looks like I will be stuck here in the rain for a while longer.

I am going to start planning our first camping fishing trip. We will probably drive around 400 miles to get to slightly warmer weather.

@fishtiger58 The annoying fact is that I could have taken a week's holiday last week because I never got a telephone call this Wednesday. Now the situation is the same, I could take a holiday for a week or 10 days and it may make no difference, but I cannot take the chance in case the appointment is next Wednesday.

@Asylum that's to bad but getting your eyes fixed is important. I do hope all goes well.

May be you can take those 7 day tours but spend only 3 days

@allknowing That would involve booking the trip comprising of flights and accommodation and then paying a further flight home, which would be much dearer.

@Asylum When I was on a package holiday in the US I broke from the group and had my own schedule worked out for my return after an extended stay in the US. May be you can cut short your trip. Nothing like finding out.

@Asylum As long as I do not have to be someplace when it rains (I move appointments if rain shows up), I stay home. But I could get into my car in my attached garage and drive to the nearby mall, into their covered and attached parking structure and hang out there, if I became bored.

@ElizabethWallace That does rather defeat the object because you still be in a restricted and enclosed area.

Never mind that will give you time to sprout more feathers and webbed feet so you are fully developed by time you get your next holiday!
