To be ridiculously excited!!

[shabbalabba]

Booking a holiday for the first time since covid and we're going to do New York and then Orlando with the dc!! I'm so excited I can't contain myself! Dd8 has always wanted to go to New York and I adore it there! And Orlando will just be amazing I hope!! Anyone else??YAY!!!

YANBU.
I was ridiculously giddy when we were in Spain last month. Freezing cold but overjoyed.
Going back next month and can’t wait

Would love a holiday abroad, anywhere would do. In fact I'd even love a week's holiday in the UK. Just can't afford it. My money tree is dying a slow painful death, and with energy bills looming it's just going to get worse. And I feel humbled saying that because there's a lot of folks a lot worse off than me. I can just shut keep my head above water but many can't.

All the best op, but I'd advise not getting your hopes too high, until your there and then enjoy the trip.

Sorry for you situation but op can still be excited.

I can't fucking wait for our two weeks in Ibiza.

@Hawkins001 oh I know! So much can go wrong I suppose but I just cannot wait!! I can't wait to see the DC's faces! 🤗

I’d be beside myself with excitement too. My parents took us on the same holiday when I was 13 and it was incredible. When are you going? It was August for us and the heat combined with everything we did in New York meant we really needed the downtime in Florida (in between theme parks). I hope I can take my kids on the same holiday when they’re older. Enjoy every minute OP!

@MiddleParking king the end of June...I could literally cry I'm so excited 😆

Done that trip many times, it’s so much fun. Now we skip NY though, and go first to beautiful Sanibel Island then Orlando. It’s heaven. Don’t go during summer though as it’s way to hot. Wish I could go too..!

Im so jealous and I'd be ridiculously excited, my kids are almost 8,5 and 3months so in a good 5-7 years itd be a good time to go I think. Hope you have an amazing time

Ok but this is irrelevant

That's lovely and happy for you and it is great to have something to look forward to and you can start getting all your summer clothes and bits and bobs together. I would love a week away here at home and hopefully it can happen, would love to be beside the sea nice long walks with our dog and just a relaxing holiday. But so expensive to live right now.

Leave FarmGirl alone she was only expressing her thoughs and did not say anything bad at all. She said she was grateful that she is keeping her head above water so does not help if others having a go at her as lots of us in that position. Be kind to others and no need to call her out on what she said.

Really exciting, enjoy 😉

Fabulous. Hope you all have a wonderful time 👍
A few years ago we had a week in LA (including Disney/Universal), 4 nights in LV and finally 3 nights in NY - we loved it all.

Just seen your post - one year we went to Orlando followed by Captiva Island - lovely.

Have a fab time!! I'm also looking forward to a holiday, going to Crete in May. We can't often afford to go abroad, itll be 5 years since we've been and may not be able to afford to o again for a long time, what with the price rises. So it feels like an extra special treat for us. Can't wait😁

@shabbalabba I have a large suitcase , would you mind taking it with you please , it is a bit heavy so I am happy to pay the extra baggage weight .

PS , please dont throw it around , I will be inside it .

It’s beautiful! Wish it wasn’t so expensive to go. 😩

Ah ,we went to Florida when I was 7 ( 40 years ago) and it is still one of my outstanding joyful childhood memories. Enjoy op, its fantastic.

Have the rules changed for New York for kids? We had to cancel our trip because DD10 of course hasn’t had covid jabs and wouldn’t be able to go anywhere in the city without a covid passport

I should be in NY right now but me and DH tested positive on the pre-flight covid test 😭. I said all along I wouldn't get too excited til I was on the actual plane, just as well really!! Your trip sounds amazing!

@BeneficiaryMadness I think they have changed as of late March as far as I can see

Lapland in December, it's my dream holiday and I can't wait!

Well that’s a bugger! We had to cancel our April trip in January after new rules.

@BeneficiaryMadness awe noooo could you rebook for later in the year? October in NY is lovely!
