Wise mumsnetters, advice please.
We want to go on holiday in November (earliest we can do it ), DD will be 19 months then.
The options as I see it is a shorthaul flight e.g. the Algarve, or CentreParcs, which is 45 minutes up the road from us.
When I put it to DH, he said "yes, but what will we do all week, won't DD get bored?"
If it's the Algarve, we will be in a SC villa with no pool, so I guess it's beach and beach and beach. I worry we will all get bored. (DH certainly will!) Neither of us are keen on the Holiday Village type complex with lots of people and pools and entertainment. I'm sure they are a lifesaver when the kids are a bit older, but we have never done that kind of thing before, it would be a bit of a shock to the system and DD isn't old enough to get much out of it, I don't think.
CenterParcs - I have only been twice and that was pre-DD with a group of friends, so a very different holiday. Is there enough to do to entertain a 19 month-old? Bear in mind it will be November, so no guarantees on the weather.
Thanks for any advice. Would just be really interested to know what your DCs were into at this age and if they enjoyed any holidays you took them on or (be honest!) they just tagged along on the holiday you wanted to go on (I'm worried we'll end up doing this and none of us will have the great time we want)
Sorry for the ramble
