The one good thing that my dead parents instilled in me is the importance to travel. To see the world and experience different life across the planet. Granted my Dad used to use that to be racist, for example, “Oi Paki” then turning to me “It’s okay I’ve been there so I can call them that”. But putting that to one side, I always found myself to be very lucky that I had seen a large amount of our lovely planet before I left high school. Well. Then one last family trip to Egypt when I was 23.

I would love to go traveling again. With or without family. Due to a whole host of different reasons I missed out on two holidays which I would have loved. D took B to Germany last month, just the two of them and then S and D went to Greece a couple of weeks later. I was sad that I didn’t have to go but with the hospital stuff and being admitted then let out then in for another 2 weeks it was lucky we didn’t buy tickets for all of us. Basically, I can’t travel anywhere with B at the moment because my breathing triggers his misophonia which in turn triggers flight or fight and all hell breaks loose. In a busy room or short burst we are ok but yeah sleeping in the same room is a big no. We’ve tried every headphone you can think of, it’s hell. Hard for him being a bestie and all.

So now we need to be strategic in how we holiday. I go with S and D with B? Might be the easiest way.

Thank you for this ramble..

Just don’t want the kids bored over the holidays. There are camps and things running, will try them at that.
