COULD THIS BE YOUR
TYPICAL DAY?
Your holiday is your
own, but here is how a typical day might pan out on a relaxing
European
summer holiday with Small Families.
Ok, let's start at the beginning - You're at the airport,
you've
already met the other parents in our private group and as usual, most of the children have already become pals and are playing together
in the departure lounge before we've even boarded the aircraft!
DAY 2 (onwards)
You climb out of bed at - well, whatever time you like really - this is your holiday after all.
Your kiddies might already be up, dressed and gone - on the other hand, they may
still be 'dead to the world' - I'm sure you know what I mean!
 |
The sun's shining,
the sky is blue, maybe 10 minutes on your private balcony before
heading down to breakfast - prepared and cleared away,
ALL without your help - Wonderful!
No doubt your children are already
off on the beach or hotel pool with their new found friends, so
what do you do? - anything you like basically. Maybe you'll hit
the beach too - or the pool sunloungers - how about a massage?
Then there's always the daytime
entertainment activities - well maybe not, leave that to the
kids - too energetic! Give that waiter a wave, "anyone fancy a coffee,
beer, cocktail?" (I'll be glad when I've had enough of
this!) |
Wake up - it's lunch time, "do you
want to join me for a bite? The kids are off 'doing', so we can
have a chat". The full menu or just a snack? Perhaps a
glass of wine, a cool beer (or 3).
After the leisurely 2, ok 3
hour lunch, is it back to the pool, beach or maybe a touch of
retail? You could dig out that book you brought with you - an
afternoon nap might even appeal. - Don't worry about the kids,
they're all playing and looking out for each other as they do, anyway, they
know where to find you. |
 |
Wake up - dinners approaching.
Try and get those kids out of the pool and showered (they look just like
prunes don't they). Time to put your glad-rags on, but hey, you
don't have to - no formalities here.
Your Small Families host suggests
it might be nice to meet up on the terrace or by the pool bar at
7pm(ish) for pre-dinner drinkies. Any excuse! Actually, it's a
lovely way to meet up and socialise before we head off to our reserved
tables for dinner. |
As usual, the children are finished within 30 seconds and off to
play again, Hide & Seek is always a favourite and of course, the
kiddies disco starts soon (they'll sleep well tonight).
True to form, the Small Families mums and dads will probably be the last out of the
restaurant, we'll all sit here for another 3 hours
chatting and forcing down the unlimited free wine - My word this
is tough, but hey, it's adult chill-out time,
appreciated by all -
very pleasant. |
|
The main evening
entertainment's about to start, shall we go and watch? It might
not be quite the West End but sometimes it's all surprisingly good and the kids always love it, that's the main
thing - keep them happy and occupied and you'll have a great holiday too!
A stroll along the waters edge is always nice this time of the
evening - just look at that sunset! Anyone fancy another drink? |
