We’re currently on our first family holiday abroad (me, dp and our 2 year old)- 11 nights/10 days. We go home on Friday morning.
Night 1 and day 1 and night 2 went as expected - swimming, going to the entertainment, a good time ect.
Day 3 - dp was sick in the morning and then 2 year old got really tired and slept for ages from about 4pm
Day 4 - We ended up having to go to hospital as 2 year olds temperature wouldn’t go down and they were concerned he may have a fit if it couldn’t be controlled
Day 5-8 - 2 year old unhappy, tired, hot on antibiotics and paracetamol and ibuprofen and not wanting to eat or drink much and sleeping loads and dp feeling sick/dizzy/exhausted every day
Night 8 - 2 year old feeling much better but dp still feels awful so we stayed in after food and had an early night
Day 9 (now) 2 year old is completely fine (although scared of the pool and won’t go near it - he loves going swimming at home so I think he might be scared it’s what made him sick which it might have been) and dp is feeling a bit better but still not the best
It’s our last day tomorrow.
Would you try again next year?
Have we just been really unlucky or are holidays just not for us?
We went at this time of year as we don’t enjoy hot weather. It is how I expected it to be so I think we picked the best weather one 🤷♀️
It wasn’t cheap to go on holiday and I really don’t know what is best in the future 😫
