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!!

I went to Salou last month with my dh and two girls who are aged 6 and 8. Highly, highly recommend House of Illusion magic show if you can go. Incredible experience! Have a great holiday.

Me and my husband goes on holiday about 5/6 times a year some abroad some local, we’ve had a very special holiday for next year booked for over a year and I’m so excited about it 🤣🤣
you are not unreasonable to be excited

Oh i love salou we went to Cambrills last year, you will have a great time. Will be roasting though.

Thanks for all the tips!!

Being excited is a good thing, would they rather you were miserable?

I don’t think miserable, just they don’t see the point in “being excited”

It's never too early to be excited! Have a really lovely time

Why wouldn’t you be excited? You deserve to be.

I am fortunate enough to travel abroad multiple times a year (minimum 5 trips) and get excited (sometimes even jumping up and down/squealing/skipping lol) every time.

I hope you have a wonderful time x

Love this thread. Have a great time OP. I go on plenty of holidays and get excited for each and every one, even the packing. I think holidays are a privilege and I'm grateful I'm able to go on them.

10 days countdown for me 🥳

We also create a family theme tune for each holiday. Note my kids are now adults and we don't have every holiday together but will help each other create a song.

Aww, have a brilliant time OP.

I'll never not be excited by travel or holidays.
I got so excited about our up and coming camping holiday that I'd got it in my head we were going a week earlier than we are 😭😭😭
An extra week to add to my count down!

Salou is great for kids, have a brilliant time. Keep the excitement going x

They sound miserable. Holidays always excite me

Have a fab time! We go away Saturday, its taken me a year of hard work to afford, and I intend to enjoy every minute! 😊🎉

Love tbis. Have an amazing holiday!

Ah excited for you op. We are currently in Salou! Where are you going to be staying?

I’m excited about a holiday all year! 😂

We're going to Salou in a few weeks!also Soo excited and been saving for it for Soo long.it looks fab there!

Enjoy!! Dp and I do excited countdowns for holidays at least a year ahead 🤪 so next Friday is v soon!

I'm excited from the second I book a holiday!
Have a wonderful time

The week before a holiday is the best for getting excited, you still have it to look forward to but don’t have too long to wait. You be as excited as you want. Have a fantastic time!!

Enjoy the build up as much as the holiday. Have a fabulous time

Anticipation massively increases the value of a holiday for me. My DH is the sort to try and book the week before, but I love all the planning and thinking about it for months before hand. Hate being too busy before I go to get excited.

Have a fantastic time, OP!

Have an amazing time 😊. It's definitely not too early to get excited, I would be exactly the same as I haven't been abroad for 14 years either and my younger two children haven't been on a plane before (they are very similar ages to yours).

Enjoy the excitement of the build up to holiday and have a wonderful time when you are there
