So we live overseas, two small children.
I’ve booked a solo mini break for 3 days away. Boutique hotel, spa etc. It’s an hour flight away in a different country.
Husband is fine with it, our nanny can help as he often has to work late or go out in the evenings.
I’m looking forward to it as I have some chronic health conditions and I’m looking forward to some alone time. However, when people have found out I’m going ALONE they are shocked.
“Can’t I come with you?”
”Is it safe on your own?” (Yes!)
“You’ll be lonely and miss your family.”
”Your kids will miss you I could never leave MY kids.”
“Why do you want to be on your own? That’s weird.”
I love spending time on my own! In my twenties I was airline cabin crew and travelled all over the world. I was also happy to go and do things on my own in whatever city I was in.
