Oh gosh I can relate to so much of this - although our girl already reached the point where she said no to any more vacations once she reached the age of around 11! We manage to get away with her once a year locally (an hour or so drive) to a holiday village that is the only place she is happy (ish) to go, because we have been going every year since she was little. But she only agrees to go because they have a great swimming pool facility there! Otherwise it would be no to that too… but she sounds exactly the same as your guy, much happier to be and stay at home with all her own belongings and comforts. Whereas I love a holiday and seeing new places! 😎
I recently took one of the guys I care for on a day trip to an island off the coast and despite it being different from his normal routine, I tried to keep things as familiar as possible for him while still trying to enjoy the experience. That is to say, I found myself relating to your piece :)
Gosh that sounds like a magical place to go! Dolphins!! Enjoyed reading all the details and had a laugh at the image of him shepherding you all along haha

I was with you through each sentence. Thank you 🤍
Wonderful, Robin.

Love the picture of B by the bookstore- that’s my favorite! Thanks for sharing your road-tripping with us.
