Hello
I’m currently in Tenerife with my lovely husband - in an all inclusive contained complex near the airport. I was very worried about whether we’d actually get here due to his other health issues , and I’m very happy to be here.
Night before we left was difficult as he kept asking about his suitcase, unpacking things to check, etc etc. over and over again.
I booked special assistance at Manchester airport which was a huge help - help with checking in bags, and then going through security. The chap didn’t mind at all when hubby emptied his pockets one sweetie at a time, followed by the squeaky thing he likes to carry round😂😂. The only issue really was waiting for the assistance as we were behind a large group of maybe 40 students with parents, carers and teachers I think. No time for airport shopping 🙁but wheelchair right to the gate , jumping the queue, which upset some people in the queue.
I booked private transfer to the hotel which was great and fast.
Hotel is fab but our room is about 20 minutes walk at his speed to the restaurant, so Ive rented a wheelchair for the duration and when he says I don’t need that as he forgets how far it is I say you can push me ! This is working well so far.
I’ve realised though that we can’t really go anywhere outside the complex due to his needing the loo very often. Is there any kind of easily portable device or should I try to get him to use a bottle?
Having said all that it is lovely to be away in the sun with no cooking and I’m making the most of it - probably be the last trip abroad I think, before he deteriorates too much with this horrible disease.
All inclusive with all meals, drinks, live music which he is absolutely loving - and a restful sea view for me😊- highly recommended.
After his emergency life saving operation 12months ago I’ve learned to plan ahead a bit while still taking one day at a time and living in the moment . Holidays at home booked up to October now so I have something to look forward to.
