Pre holiday anxiety - anyone else?

[PumpkinPie2016]

We (me, DH and DS aged 9 years) are going to Austria on holiday soon - 26 days left to be precise (thanks tui app😁).

A big part of me is really looking forward to it and so excited. It will be the first trip abroad with DS and he is super excited. Hotel is lovely (SiL has been before), area looks amazing etc.

But! I can feel myself getting irrationally twitchy now! I know I am being daft but I can't help it. I find myself worrying about ridiculous things 🙄 like, the hotel won't have our reservation- I know they have and have confirmation! Or that the airline will lose a bag etc.
I have done absolutely everything to be super organised. Will be doing online check in and day before bag drop. As I say, family have stayed at the hotel and it has great reviews on trip advisor. We have travel insurance. Our lovely neighbours are taking us to the airport so don't even have to rely on a taxi.

I know I will love it once there, but does anyone else get very twitchy before going away? I don't voice this to my family BTW- I wouldn't dampen the excitement for them!

Yes. 100%

Since I got to the menopause, I lost my confidence. I worry about all sorts of things that I'd have just done without a thought beforehand.

that said, I've always (well, since having dc, not when I was traveling solo as a young adult) been nervous about the family holiday abroad. I think it is because it is such a big thing. If I've got it wrong - lost a passport or find one out of date or the transfers don't arrive, or 101 other things I can imagine going wrong - it's a huge thing for your whole family to be there, unable to get to your destination.
Now my dc are grown and combined with the fact we have a bit more money and could use cards to book alternatives etc, the pressure is off, and I am slightly more relaxed again, but I think it is the fact that it would be so sad for the whole family if you couldn't fly or there was no hotel or whatever.

I get you 100%
