I'm looking forward to holiday just a bit nervous of handling the 3 kiddos on the way over
Why? They a "soon to be adults" give them responsibility for one another and you. If they perceive they have this they'll step up and make your life easier. Tell them, they'll each get a reward if they step up and if one of them doesn't no one gets the reward, that way they'll manage one another. You will need to stick with this, no giving way if one of them messes up, tough dad time. But, if this happens, find another way to make sure they get the treat, with a new task that involves them all again.
In over words, lead your family, don't do everything and they will each respect you more as a result. Face it, if you are nervous so will they be, so relax and they will too.
Oh and yes, you might catch me on your bike (just) in a straight line but I'd lose you in the bends.
