Ridiculously excited for holiday! Anyone else?

[countdowntonap]

I’m so excited to be going away this weekend that I can’t stop clock watching! Time is adding incredibly slowly as I count down the hours to my flight on Saturday.
For the past few nights I’ve even woken up at 4am bursting with excitement! It’s becoming quite annoying now and I wish I could focus on something
else.
Is anyone else feeling the same? How are you passing the time?

i am just looking forward to a week off with the family just a shame the weather looks pants

Where are you off to? Have you packed yet? Im just about to make my list… off next Thursday

I'm getting really excited now - we go to Austria on 5th August. It's been booked for a year so we have waited a long time!

I am off work now as I am a teacher but have some dissertation work to do plus need to pack/give the house a tidy/amuse DS before we go.

Hoping the journey runs smoothly- that's the only anxious part for me.

Where are you off to nice OP?

I no longer have school aged DC so I'm not away until September .

I’m in exactly the same position OP, we go away early Saturday morning and cannot bloody wait. I can almost taste the airport Prosecco! The packing is almost finished, I’ve got one more day at work to get through and then Friday I’m having my hair and nails done ready to jet off.

We go to Fuengirola in the morning. 6am flight so a VERY early start.
Love getting up and going & not hanging around.

Excited!

I’m just back and I’m jet lagged. Not jealous at all… have fun!

We’re currently camping. It’s shit. This is our summer holiday. I am very jealous @countdowntonap and hope you have a lovely time x

Yes! Same! DH and I have just been talking about how excited we are to go to France for our holiday. Friday am can't come quickly enough!

I try not to think of it or I'm like a kid at Christmas.

We're off to Mijas on Saturday and planning a day trip to Fuengirola during the week, one of my favourite spots

Have brilliant time! You too, OP!

Another week to wait for us and I can't bloody wait !!! Have a great time x

Oo @Bananaspliff Didn’t even start thinking about the airport prosecco yet - another thing to look forward to.

I’m off to the Cyclades but looking the most forward to have no schedule to follow and the biggest decision of each day being where to eat for dinner. Bliss!

@GiddyGladys I’m exactly like a kid at Christmas
! I know tonight will be another restless night.

@Moonshine86 Not packed yet. Just got the cases down from the loft. EEEK!

I'm currently on day 5 of 10 in Spain.
It was well needed amd glad to have some sum and relaxation.

I’m having my holiday nails done tomorrow and will have a mooch around town for a new book! Looking forward to completely relaxing in Southern Spain ❤️

I'm not massively looking forward to my holiday in Rhodes to be honest 😳

We are going away this weekend. We've never been abroad as a family and I haven't been abroad for 20+ yrs. DH, 16yo DD, 11yo DS and I are off to France for a week via the channel tunnel.

I'm currently just worried. Haven't packed, can't even think about driving abroad without feeling a bit wobbly and am dealing with some sad news from my parents which I received this morning.

I'm hoping it will all come together.

Can I join? We’re off to California on Wednesday and I cannot wait! DP, me, the four kids and my mum and dad (for some of the time).

It’s going to be the trip of a lifetime, Universal, Disney, Vegas helicopter flight, San Diego boat trip, Alcatraz - so so excited for the kids.

I just keep adding to my packing list and our list of places we have to eat at. Going to Google diners, drive ins and dives tomorrow and see if we can find a few hidden gems along the way…

Am off tomorrow and sooo excited ! Flying to Malta with DH, DD (12) and DS (13) to pick up a P&O Greek Islands cruise. Taxi at 3am ….…

I'm more worried my holiday might be on fire - Crete. Have wanted to take the kids for years as I loved it when DH and I went years ago. Did not anticipate this 🙁.

@Chelsea26 if you haven’t yet used Instagram as a planning tool, you might have fun using that to find eateries.

@Twiceover are there fires on Crete now? Sorry to hear this.

@countdowntonap I rarely use Instagram at all - will investigate now. Thank you 😋

I'm going to Rhodes too. I've got 2 weeks to go. Hopefully things will have calmed down by then.

We are off to the south of France on Friday - will wave if I see any other MN-ers in the Shuttle queue 😆

Can't wait!!

Safe travels all!

This is the thread I needed

Finished for the summer today! And feeling a bit flat. Shit weather no one to really get excited with

So this thread and the palpable excitement is lovely. I'm off to Scotland in a few days can't wait
