Sometimes we want to cancel because we’re tired. Not holiday tired—life tired. The kind of tired where you forgot to reply to that email, and now it’s been two weeks, and you just want to hide under a blanket.
Cyprus travel advice: should I cancel my holiday? - Telegraph
Cyprus is basically a blanket made of sunshine. I remember standing by the Aphrodite’s Rock, feeling the sea spray on my face, and thinking, “This is better than any spreadsheet.” You cannot get that feeling from staying home.
If you’re cancelling because you’re overwhelmed by packing, planning, or the thought of airport queues—take a breath. That’s the part of the holiday you forget as soon as you taste your first souvlaki.
What About the “Vibe Check”?
Check the current travel rules, sure. But also check your own vibe. Are you in holiday mode, or are you in “I need to clean the garage” mode? Be honest.
Last year, my friend Sarah cancelled her Cyprus trip because her cat was “acting weird.” The cat was fine. The cat just wanted more tuna. She spent the week watching the cat sleep and regretting her life choices.
Unless there’s a genuine safety concern (and you’d know it if there were), the holiday is probably a better idea than your cat’s tuna demands. Probably.
