Holiday abroad in 3 weeks, severe buyer’s remorse

This is very much a first world problem so apologies in advance. We are due to go to northern Spain in 3 weeks. My DSs are 15 and 19 so we feel it might be the last holiday we go on as a family, for a while at least. So back in the depths of winter we decided on a 2 week roadtrip staying in about 5 different places. What with covid, airline issues ( we’re flying easyJet) and the cost ( the cost!) I’m really apprehensive now. Last year we went nowhere , 2 previous years we had a week in Wales, so relatively cheap. Now I’m paying hundreds of pounds for each day’s accomodation, £600 for a car for one week ( other week we’ll be using public transport) and I’m worried it won’t be worth it. Can’t stop thinking the boys will complain about one thing or another and I’ll be losing my rag. Anyone else feeling the same?

Download the geocaching APP and send them off finding things.

There's loads to do along the Cantabrian coast and the cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian. I'd definitely get them to Google stuff they'd like to see and do.

Exploring foreign supermarkets for different snacks can be fun (although Haribo and Pringles are the same the world over!). Nothing like a stick of fuet for elevenses 😄
