Well that's weird about your family booking in the same place. Maybe next time only tell them right before you leave. I hope you find a new place to go that you will enjoy, I think that would be a much needed break for you.
I'm glad to see you more positive about stepping off the coaster. It does help, keep going Dragon!
It's not looking very promising. I checked dozens of destinations, with hundreds of hotels and they are all booked for one holiday or the other. I may just tell my family I made other plans and proceed with the ones I already made. I don't like being dishonest, but I don't appreciate my feelings being ignored. I really need the escape.
