This may seem like a really dumb thing to ask but how do you become that person that is booking holidays 1 or 2 years in advance, as mentioned in another thread? We can't even find somewhere we like for Summer 2023, probably because it has all been booked by the organised folks 😂
The amount of time it takes to research destinations, resorts, and hotels. It's like a second job. How do you choose if you're picking somewhere new? Just find it so painful to endlessly trawl through websites, destinations and hotels that end up being unsuitable. It makes me not want to go.
There also seem to be no last-minute deals anymore, not even short breaks. Maybe it's Brexit, or a post-Covid surge still, I don't know.
Also hotels 😕. What no one tells you is that as your kids get older for all of you to cram into one double room is not relaxing or fun and certainly doesn't feel like a holiday when you've paid thousands. Yet the majority of hotels are designed for 2 adults and 2 (young?) kids sharing a sofa bed. When you have one teen and one younger of the opposite sexes, that's not really an option but searching for those that have separate bedroom/s or interconnecting rooms is an additional challenge.
So any practical advice on how to win this part of life will be gratefully received🙏
