hi there, I guess the subject says it all. My DH died in May, quite traumatically. I have two DC - DS13 and DD9 (who is autistic). They are desperate to go abroad after 2 years of shielding (my DH was very clinically vulnerable), so I'm looking for somewhere for us to go abroad for 7-10 days - preferably all-inclusive or half-board, somewhere I can relax and drink wine, and they can have fun. I know it will be difficult, everything is horrendous for us at the moment, but it's either we go away in the UK, which could be quite depressing if the weather is bad and expensive - or we don't go anywhere, which is not really an option for the kids- they deserve to have some fun. I don't have anyone we can go with, which I know would be better for me, so looks like it will be me and the two kids.
I think somewhere not too far but in a nice hotel, with good food, and preferably somewhere close by to visit with restaurants, cafes etc. We used to go camping in gorgeous areas of France, travelling around, and also stay in lovely places in Majorca for eg. when DH was alive, so this will be very different to what we're used to. I'd really like to avoid France, and I hate to say it, Majorca as well, as it reminds me of my DH too much - but if there's somewhere really special there, I would consider it. Does anyone have any suggestions?! Thanks.
