Am I the only 'over-anxious' traveller!?

[KELLY'S]

With less than a week to go instead of feeling all excited at our 2nd trip to Disney I am now more consumed with what may go wrong!? I worry about delayed flights, car hire troubles, finding the villa and then my worst worry will my villa actually be there!

Please tell me I'm not the only one with these worries! I think I can't let myself get too excited as if something goes wrong it'll be so upsetting, I mean we save all year for this fab trip and all I want is for us to get there, turn the key in the villa and let the fun begin!

Or maybe it's just me.......!!!!

I think we all worry to a degree but yes I am the same.Always think the worst.My biggest worry is flying and need sedation to even get me on the dam thing Hate heightsclaustophobic and agrophobic-get that. I would never let it stop me going anywhere.I could not do austalia though far too long for me.
Just take each hurdle one at a time.All the worry in the world wont change it.I am sure it will all be fine but even if there are a few hiccups it will get sorted and if your villa has evaporated they will have to find you one tht hasnt.
Have a good holiday.I always check tickets passports and money every hour as whatever else you need you can always get.
Have a lovely holiday abd let us know how it went

Aw thank you - you've put it into perspective and you're right any hiccups and we can sort it. Glad I'm not the only one claustrophobic and agrophobic you're one brave lady to get on a plane well done to you

Thank you for your kind words this is why I love this site lovely kind people xxx

I'm a worrier too! I chant "passports, tickets, money" all the way to the airport and check countless times that they're all in order. Like Crabbie I think if I've got those I can sort everything else should I need to. My biggest worry is that immigration won't let me in. One of these days I'm sure I'll get pulled to one side because I must look very suspicious being so nervous. The other thing that bothers me is that when we're on the plane I'll need the toilet as soon as the seat belt signs go on. That worry came true on a flight to San Francisco but one look at my face and the stewardess said "go right ahead"!!

My DH just says that if I didn't worry about things then he'd be the one worrying

I think many people get anxious, our neighbour has twice booked for Florida, both times cancelled with a few days to flying, now given up trying.
Thankfully we are the other way, just expect all to go well, if it doesn't then we deal with it, missed a flight to Los Angeles once, DW got a little stressed about it but there was nothing we could do, VA got us on the next flight 3 hours later no problems at all.
Last August we were stuck out there with Ash cloud, just got on phone to Delta to re-arrange flights, reception to negotiate a rate to stay longer and on laptop to book another car rental.
Majority of problems are easy to deal with

I'm a worrier too! I worry about anything and everything. I'm not good when I'm near other worriers either, lol They make me more anxious and then I panic, then they panic ah its all fun!

I put my faith in DF to get us there, he knows what he's doing

 

[Elise79]

Worrier here! Always that I am going to forget something. Just started having nightmares again which means it's time to start packing

I check passports and tickets about 50 times in the fees days before leaving and I feel better once I start packing too.

Once at the airport the night before and we are checked in I relax

 

[KELLY'S]

I'm so glad it's not just me - counting down the days until I can relax! It's lovely to hear other peoples views - makes me feel not so quite nuerotic! x

 

[arielrocks]

I don't tend to worry as such - but I check that I have passports, tickets, money, purse about 10 million times. Seriously, I pay for something, put my purse way, then check its there about 2 mins later.

I guess thats nerves!!

OMG-If I didn't know better, I would have sworn I wrote this! Thats my mantra, "passport, ticket, money" I can check its all in my bag and two minuted later DH2B says "Have you got everything , and I HAVE to check again...I think I'm borderline OCD!
And as for the loo-I can go twice before we hit the end of the runway! Last time we came back, I went 3 times in 20 minutes waiting for the bus to pick us up.....

 

[MrsSparrow..]

Another worrier. I can't even stress how much this drains me, especially the day we leave.

Everyone in my family gets annoyed at my insistent checking, but one year, I said 'passports?'. And what do you know, they forgot the passports. So it never hurts to worry

 

[disneyholic family]

another anal worrier here...

 

[Mrs Stonfiesta]

I am also a big worrier, I worry about everything hence the list writing!!!!! I also chant passports, tickets, money on the way to the airport! I also hate flying but think to worry of everything else takes me mind off it a little, I worry about the flight, if my luggage will get there in one piece, if there will be turbulence if dd will be ok on the plane in the heat, in e hotel cot etc etc, in fac there isn't anything I don't worry about. I also always have the customary holiday row with oh when I am packing as he gets in so easy, he gets up and puts packed cases in the car and that's all he has to do, I book it, pay for it, arrange it, book all the extras etc and drive us to the airport, get us checked in and on the plane, sort dd out - in fact he has it too easy so I might make it 2 holiday rows this trip lol

 

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Joining the club I always check passports,tickets & money - at least 20 times!

I enjoy the planning - but find it quite stressful just before we go. I only feel alright once we've picked up the car and are on our way

 

[KELLY'S]

Phew the relief to find out I'm not alone - funny how the men don't have any of these worries -the only worry my hubby has is making sure I know when we get back we may have bills to pay!!
