When we married back in October of '88, we chose to go to Venezuela, very hot, exotic, and everything we expected from South America. The flight was long though, and the beach wasn't that great. But the hotel was fantastic!!!! Thank God we went for 2 weeks though, because I spent the first week in bed, I was so sick. In hindsight, I suffered even then with anxiety and agoraphobia, but wasn't diagnosed yet.
I didn't know then, but that would be the last vacation we took.
The only problem I have today, is where to go? It's been almost 25 years since my last vacation, and something called Agoraphobia has gotten in the way. I don't even know if I can handle getting onto a plane, let alone travel to an unknown destination. But, I'm willing to try, so I've narrowed it down, I need to go somewhere within a 2 hour proximity, close to the airport, but I want it to be hot, with a beach, and fun for the whole family. My dream is to fly somewhere with my children before they are off to college or the work force. Now, the problem, as there are a few, are listed below.
1) I'm agoraphobic, suffer from Depression, with anxiety and panic attacks. Can I handle this? as my illness kind of dictates my life.
2) My son's are in their early 20's, one's in college, and the other is going to college in September. So I want to do this soon. Any suggestions? I'm afraid that if I leave it for much longer, they won't have any interest going on a holiday with their parents.
3) Financially, can we make this a reality? and finally
4) Where to go?
I would appreciate any feedback, experience, and references to different area's that are outside of Canada. We have our passports, so give me your thoughts.
Maria, go to Disney World in Florida. Florida is warm and so much fun, you will forget about all your anxiety, etc.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Marina, not Maria, lol.
DeleteThank you Theresa, I think my kids are too old for Disney, and really looking for a beach. I guess my question should be, has anyone been to Myrtle beach before? and can you fly there?
