Cheer me up with your holiday tales of woe (lighthearted)…

[fruitfly3]

I’ve taken my children, niece and parents on holiday. So far it’s rained incessantly (not usually this bad where we are), we’ve come to a hotel which is being used as a dance music venue for the whole weekend (2pm-2am) - not usual for this hotel, and now my son has projectile vomited all over himself, me and the bathroom (which I’ve mopped up with disintegrating toilet roll, water so hot it burnt my hands and a face cloth). I’m anxious about his health due to previous issues, so now I’m now sat hovering over him and waiting to live through the last hour again like I’m in some sort of vortex as the clocks are about to change. You?

Went to what we thought was a classy and surprisingly cheap hotel on the French Riviera, found out on arrival it was a strip club. A loud one.
Bonne courage OP x

@FrodoBiggins ouch 😆 I can’t cope with the expectation shift! Bringing my parents in through a hard house dance crowd was not what I had in mind.

Gah I bet. Take it they weren't ravers back in their day 😂

You'll laugh about it once day like me and the girls laugh about our strip club adventure... probably. But for now any chance you can change hotels? I feel they should have told you about the dance music...

@FrodoBiggins right!! We’ve actually moved rooms (wasting half a day) so the thumping beat is confined to reception and downstairs. Last night was no sleep because of the music and tonight it’s a tummy bug.

Hope your boy feels better in the morning! Manifesting a dry day for you tomorrow (no rain or vomit or boiling water!!) Xx

I went on a sailing holiday with DH. On the first evening we ate out. In the middle of the night my DH started shivering and groaning. He had food poisoning, a really bad case. We were in a small cabin with a shared loo. I won’t go into the horror of it but suffice to say, it was bad. It took the best part of a week for him to recover. A sailing boat is the very last place either of us wanted to be. 🤮

@Garamousalata that scenario is what my worst dreams are made of 🤢

Can you pack up and go home? I would call it a day if you can.

I have caught Covid on multiple holidays and there is nothing worse than being ill on holiday with such limited space and no dettol!

Our last holiday dd caught a really nasty virus and was so ill she needed the dr called out, she threw up in his lap as he sat down next to her! The rug had to be thrown out by the staff.

We spent all week trying to keep her out of hospital. I remember being so alarmed as she lost so much weight. She recovered beautifully on the last day - we had been up around the clock for a whole week and were just exhausted.

@Nestingbirds that sound super tough. I think he’s settled now - we’re about 3 hours post the last episode and he seems ok. We’re abroad otherwise I would definitely back up - too costly to get home other than on the route we have planned. I’ll be sending my parents on a cleaning product run first thing!
