Anxious about holiday

I am struggling with this.. we had to make a quick last min change as original holiday was affected by Rhodes wild fires. I haven't researched as much as usual and we booked a new destination in a panic and now I keep finding things to worry about...

the pools are saltwater - what is the kids hate them
we are sharing a room - what if no one sleeps
no inflatables allowed in the pool - what if the kids bored

and on and on.. I feel so churned up and we don't go for 2 weeks! Anyone the same? Or any advise to help me chill out! I do struggle a bit with anxiety but not usually as bad as this...

I always feel like this before a big holiday, research or not! It's awful. You just need to put it out of your mind, nothing you can do now. What ever happens you'll figure something out!

Also saltwater pools sound awful but actually you don't really notice a difference.

Thank you :-) I know.. I keep thinking that I need to just accept what will be will be.. then 5 mins later i’m finding something else to google in a panic!

the saltwater pool is probably my biggest worry as we didn’t see that when we booked and my 2 can be sensitive.. they always moan in the sea after a few days in the sun and say it stings them.. did you find it ok in a pool, assume it’s less salty than the sea!

Yes definitely didn't feel salty like the sea when you get out. I get stingy and itchy with sea water but I wasn't bothered with it at all.
