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 love that you’re excited. Too many people take for granted and are downright miserable over the privilege of going on a holiday - to be able to afford it, to have loved ones to enjoy it with and to be in good enough health to travel and experience these things.
Keep being excited, I’ll bet your family also love that you’re excited it makes them feel the excitement too.
Have a great time

I think a disproportionate number of MNetters holiday a lot!

OP this is amazing, how exciting for you all! I’m prob a bit like your DH due to anxiety I struggle to get excited! Really until I’m literally through security at the airport lol!

have the best time! X

In fairness we have been away twice this year already - at Easter we went to Haven and in May we went away to a different caravan site. Likely will go away for October or Christmas too (cheap caravan sites in wales or borrow a friends caravan) but this is a proper, honest to goodness holiday holiday where I can properly relax and not have to worry about cooking and washing up and will the knife be sharp enough.
