We can't afford for 4 of us to go. It's going to be at New Year so the most expensive time of year. DH has kindly suggested that I go alone. DDs will be 6 and 3 so a lot for DH to deal with on his own. I'd feel terrible leaving them and worry they would resent missing such an amazing experience when they are older.

So I feel it's all of us or none of us. I'm also feeling miserable about not having had trip abroad for two years and got quite excited a the thought of NZ until I had a proper look at how much it will cost. Sad

Personally, there's no way I could leave my kids and go so far away. It would be my worst nightmare!

How long would you go for? Bearing in mind that the ticket would be around £1000 (at this time of year) and the flight would take around a day, probably no less than two weeks??

If this means you have used up your annual leave and any spare cash so that a family holiday is out of the question this year, then I wouldn't go.
