If the idea of a holiday sounds simple, the logistics rarely are, and last summer’s break came with its own set of challenges. After 17 years as a family of four, the time had come to go away as a threesome, as our eldest son, now 20, understandably preferred to holiday with friends instead.
The first challenge was finding a destination that satisfied my desire to “fly and flop”, my 17-year-old son’s need for “somewhere I won’t be bored”, and a husband’s craving for “stuff to do”. The only thing we could all agree on was “somewhere hot”.
