Only 6 days to go and....

[T16GEM]

I feel a little odd about the whole trip, I don't know why as I have been so excited up until the last couple of days, I had even packed most of our stuff a couple of weeks ago.

Don't get me wrong I am still excited about it and want to go, but something is niggleing with me, I hate flying at the best of times and with all the extra security and new terror threats etc I am stressing about that as well as not really knowing for sure if the kids will be able to have their DS and other bits and bobs to entertain them throughout the flight.

I wish we could just teleport there and not have to go through all this palava

Call it pre holiday jitters

I feel like this every year, I am excited up until a few days before and then I start to feel a bit down and gloomy! It always passes once I am at the airport though

I think we all hit that point, especially if the trip has been a long time coming.

When myself and DBF went back in April 08, we'd had the trip booked for 18 months beforehand. I was extremely excited, as I'd not been in 10 years, but by the time I'd reached the week before going, I felt deflated

The only things I could come up with was: 1. I'm also wary of flying, it's by far one of my least favourite activities. 2. The trip would soon be over and nothing to look forward too. 3. I was worried about leaving the rest of my family behind and DBF not 'getting' the magic once there.

Thankfully, I survived the flight, DBF loved every second and once I'd spoken to them all back home I was fine.

I'm sure it's just a bit of apprehension in the build up and that once you're there it'll all disappear!

I was like this before my trip too - i was like WHATS wrong with me?!

I'd went from the person who was telling everyone "OMG only 74 days to go" to ... "yeahhh we're going soon" when my friends were asking me if i was excited a couple days before the trip!

I think perhaps i was just getting agitated as it was SO soon and i just wanted to be there! Good thing is - it is VERY soon that you will be there!

Think its normal hun. I always count down with the over excitement on a 3 yrold and then the week before start questioning if its really such a good idea to go!!
Im a nervous flyer too - hate it !! I think with only a few days to go its just jitters and when you are actually on your way you will be fine !!

I am hoping that I start to feel better at the airport! Have been thinking about investing in some Kalms too! LOL

Sounds exactly like what I am thinking right now! I am glad that I am not going mad!

Yes! Anyone who is friends with me on Facebook will know that I have been counting down since day 228 or something like that! It's seemed like such a long time coming - and now it's a bit overwhelming that it's finally only 6 days away!

I cannot think of anything worse than flying, we are also connecting in Newark and have a 4 hour layover, last night at 11pm we said "This time next week we will still have an hour on the plane left" It's going to be a VERY long day!

 

[Tinks1984]

Ah, now that explains it! Extra stress with the layover of the connection, knowing you'll have to get back on the plane again to finally get there.

BUT, no you're not going mad hun! It all seems pretty normal to me and everyone else by the looks of things!
