had total input & involvement in all of the planning.They originally asked about hotels in an area I didn't know a lot about,as well as activities none of us had done before or hadn't done in a long time so we all got online & searched on our own computers.It was the same for all aspects of their holiday.
As far my daughter as not previously packing her own suitcase it's only because when she has travelled before we have gone as a family group & have shared suitcases.We have often travelled with a couple empty suitcases or cases filled with things to give away.Most people for a 2 -3 week holiday do not need to take a suitcase full of clothes per person.I think some other families may do this as well.
You gave me a laugh commenting about the way I treat my daughter at home,she doesn't live in the family home & hasn't for a while.She & her best friend share a house together & they both choose to very regularly come over,along with many of their other close friends because we all get on so well & enjoy spending time together.
It's nice you would like to read a JBR of the girls.After they each read some of the negative comments made in this thread I wonder if they will decide it is worthwhile doing a JBR on this particular forum.I suppose we will have to wait & see what they decide.
