I feel like an anti social billy no mates writing this.
I booked a week off work at the start of Sept as ds1 was due to start school, we have now decided to hold him back a year.
Over the past 5 years I have either been pregnant or minding my two kids, and sometimes juggling work too. So like many mums, my social life took a nose dive. At any rate alot of my friends have drifted a little and now have small children of their own.
My husband doesn't want to go on holidays in Sept, but he thinks I should take advantage of the time off and do something for me (he has the guilts as he often goes on boys weekends/nights out etc).
TBH I can only think of a handful of people to even suggest a holiday to, and to be really honest they might drive me batty if I spent a week with them.
So I'm considering two options:
- Book a cheap sun holiday for me and the two kids (4 and 3). That way i would have company, I'ld get some much needed sun and I think it would be nice, or:
- Go on my own, on either a sun holiday or a Italian touring type holiday. Would I be completely bored out of my brain on holiday on my own. I could swim, read, lounge about in the sun. I think I might find eating out awkward on my own. I'm even considering the Camino de Santiago (as I think people tend to do that on their own and therefore might be more willing to chat a little).
So any good/bad/mad stories about traveling on your own with kids or just plain in your own?
