I’m feeling quite proud of myself. Two years from losing my darling husband I made the brave decision to go on holiday alone to our favourite place in Tenerife for 4 days to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I got home yesterday.
We used to travel quite a lot and bizarrely my biggest worry after pressing that ‘book’ button was negotiating the airport alone. I decided if that was my biggest worry I’d pay £99 for a private lounge where I get security done alone and chauffeured to the gate. Best £99 I’ve ever spent. In retrospect, even though I felt the safe booking somewhere familiar, it was a bit of a romantic, couples destination for someone travelling solo. Despite not saying more than ‘good morning’ to anyone for the full time I was there, it was a step I’m glad I took. Would I do it again? No probably not but I’m glad I did. I feel stronger having done it.
