I am working on a ‘Holiday’ page with information of the holidays we have been on and challenges we came across. I could split this into pre and post diagnosis, not that our son changed, but our handling of everything changed.
I live for my holidays, always have. Although accounting was what I wanted to do, I didn’t want to go to University. I just wanted a job, to get money, to go on holiday. I ended up, talked in to it by my dad, going to college which was only 2 years. I was the only one in my class who then didn’t go on to University but I am not a studious person at all. I have recently returned to studies and completed a professional accounting qualification. I was talked into it by someone in work, but I’m glad they did.
We have a holiday booked for July and it is a 4.5 hour flight. He has been great on flights so far, so I’m not worried about it, though this will be the longest flight he will have been on other than when he was a baby.
I can’t wait to take him to visit family in America who haven’t met him yet. We are planning Florida next year and hope that family stateside join us. Then, the world is our oyster as they say!
I just need to realise that it will take us a bit longer to do things. We need to wait till he is a bit older before doing longer flights.
