My family are going on holiday together. There are 16 people in total. Some people have been before but not for about 6 years. They have designated themselves as experts. It is even longer since our branch of the family have been but I love planning things. I read up on stuff, looked on blogs and trip advisor etc.
The experts decided where we are going. I said some things I had read online. I was laughed at, told that places always have some negative reviews, you can't believe everything on the internet, that i should trust them because they are the experts.
I wasn't convinced but as everybody else was wanting to go with the experts, I booked and crossed my fingers.
A friend of one of the experts has just been to where we are due to be staying. It turns out all the things I raised as a concern were correct and they now want to go somewhere else. Fine except we are now out priced in other places. We are left with either going somewhere that has lost its way since covid, spending double to get somewhere decent or disappointing all the kids and cancelling. I am so pissed off. They all laughed at me and wouldn't even look at what I was speaking about before. The experts keep shouting at people that it isn't their fault. No it isn't but it could have been avoided.
I know I would be petty and unhelpful but I do want to say "I told you so"
