AIBU to be this excited about our holiday next week?

[ToffeePennie]

I’m fizzing with excitement about our upcoming holiday. It’s the first time I’ve been abroad in 13 years and the first time I will take our children (12 and 8) on an airplane!!
Dh says it’s too early to be excited but we go next Friday, so for me it feels very soon!
My mum also thinks I’m being a bit silly because she always has a holiday, in fact several a year like this but this is my first time doing All Inclusive!
I know there’s still like 6 days of work (and it will be HEAVY for me) but I can’t help it, I also have a baby shower I’m going to on Friday and I’m just so excited and happy!!

Aw, OP, all the best to you! 🤗 It's going to be amazing!!!

Ahh, enjoy every single second 😊

It’s never too early to be excited for a much waited for holiday! Enjoy every minute 😊.

This is lovely,it's nice to see some happiness around!have an amazing time!

Have a lovely time 🥰🥰

Aww ignore everyone else, we need more happiness in life!

I love your enthusiasm and happiness! Have the best time ever ☺️

I was going to say don’t get your hopes too high but your kids are at relatively easy ages and all-inclusive will make it doubly easy. Have a great time! 🥰

I love this , have a great time 😊

Leave your DH at home and take one of us Mumsnetters instead as you have all made our day a bit brighter!! Have a fab time away OP!

Oo exciting where are you off to (nosy) . Of course you are excited I love a countdown to a holiday .

I was like this the other month. It was mine, DH and DS's first time going abroad and I was super excited for weeks before 😂 you be as excited as you want to be, I completely understand it. Hope you have a really good holiday ☺️

Ignore the curmudgeons OP. Hope you have a great time. We all definitely need some more happiness in this world!

Enjoy the excitement and build up - I’d be excited too !!

I can’t believe your mum and dh are downplaying it when it’s been 13 years and your children have never ever been abroad!

Have a wonderful time! Where are you going?
Only tip is to not put precious liquids in hand luggage. Once again I had posh sunscreen confiscated because it was over 100ml. Some airports have changed the rules. But not the one I was flying through 😣

Half the fun of a holiday is the build up excitement, I’m excited for a holiday I’ve got booked in 2027! I hope you have a wonderful tint.

We are off to Spain. Which wasn’t my first choice (I grew up going to Portugal and have some good friends there still that I would love to see again someday) but when Dh found this particular hotel we loved the look of it and it has a kids club which my little one will adore! So Salou in Spain for us!

Op I hope you have an amazing time 🙏 💐 ❤️

Oh I have planned to take NO liquids through hand luggage - we are staying in the airport hotel the night before and I rang them specifically to ask if they had shower gel in the rooms so we didn’t even have to bring that - 4 empty water bottles and 2 backpacks full of colouring and uno games!

Did you decide on whether to buy anything for the air stewards?

Yes, as I said, that’s been crossed off the list. I made several posts about not doing that.

No way, you deserve to be excited and happy!! Enjoy ☀️

It was a long thread! Sorry didn’t see

Aww how lovely enjoy 😊
