Holidays...Why Do We Bother?

7/8/2016

Do you ever wonder if all the hassle of organizing a vacation is worth it, or is it just me?  From checking passport dates and renewing them, trolling the internet for the perfect location, then there’s packing for everyone...UGHHH!!  Plus this world we now live in safety is also a big consideration.  There are several places we’ve taken the kids that I’d think twice about now (Egypt and Turkey for example).

In some ways it is getting easier as the kids are a bit older.  (They are now almost 14, just turned 12, and almost 10.)  They don’t need car seats and other toddler paraphernalia anymore, and they would be perfectly happy to wear the same clothes over and over all week!  In other ways it is more difficult.  They all want to do different things and us parents are just embarrassing. 

Either way, a change of scenery is always good and travel broadens our horizons, so off we go.  The best thing though - doing absolutely nothing productive.  Sitting reading a book all afternoon (in between siestas), eating food bought and prepared by someone else.  When you’re at home there’s always so many things that need doing that you never really relax and unwind.  Plus the memories of adventures last a lifetime.

Actually, it is worth the hassle.  You come back well rested and ready to take on life...and the unpacking!
