Holiday today 😃

Going on holiday today everyone is very excited . I'm shitting it at the same time though.

I need to get to Liverpool street station. My original thought is to get the bus all the way there I think it said 1hr 20 min. Or I could get a train with 2 changes which would take me about half the time. But once im on the bus I don't have to worry . So maybe I should stick to that.

As we are getting to the resort late about 10.30pm will there be any food available? Just snacks or something. We are all inclusive which includes main meals, snack s drinks

Safe travels home and I don't think it will be too long before someone asks you when can they go again😆
Be proud of stepping so far out of comfort zone.. That takes courage.

Last few hours or so. We are being picked up at 4.40 . So we are at the pool probably till around 3pm. Gonna feel like a long day.

Get a decent lunch and see f you can get some snacks, the airport may have very little.

Enjoy it! Tomorrow you’ll be back to the daily grind and wishing you were still on holiday.

Yeah i was thinking that. But i don't know what we can take through security. Yeah we are gonna eat around 2.30. But make it a big lunch.

You can take food through security. We have to take a whole packed lunch for my autistic child when we fly as he has a very limited diet.

Agree, just eat it before you land just in case there are restrictions our end.

Try and get school uniforms and bags sorted when you get home tonight, I know it will be a pain when you’ve just had a flight etc but it will make tomorrow morning far less painful.

@Youagain2025 at least you have come home to nice weather, it will certainly help dry your holiday washing.

TicTac80 · 17/06/2025 12:13

Huge well done OP!! It sounds like the holiday was a first for you all. I took my DC overseas for the first time last year, and I was a bit nervous about it (despite me doing LOADS of travelling when I was younger). I think the niggles you encountered will be easy fixes for future holidays. I’m glad you guys had a good time x

I assume you're referring to me here. I name change often, I didn't do it just to post on your thread, you're not that special to me.

Not trying to sound mean whilst sounding mean.

If you don't understand that I wasn't being mean then I can't do anything about that, eh?

I know you can do whatever threads you want, you use MN as your daily/hourly diary and I never said you weren't allowed just that you complain all the time and always have a reason why you can't/won't do something that will help you out even after asking for advice for things. If you don't want advice and suggestions fine but don't ask for it then?

If you want your life to be harder than that's your choice, I guess. I suppose if it wasn't hard then you'd have nothing to post about.

It really doesn't matter how many times you say "niggles" all you did was complain and not take anyone's suggestions on board but that just seems to be how you are anyway.

Anyway, glad you're home safe. I hope your kids had a decent time at least, they deserve that.

Maybe do some more research next time before booking/going on holiday. I'm ND and do alot of research before I book and before I go because I like to be armed with all of the information. I book/pay things like excursions before I go so I don't have to worry about it and I always look where the nearest/least expensive shops are to get anything.

Chalk it up to experience and hopefully your next one will be better 👍🏻.
