Looking to take my 9 year old son away for the first time alone. usually have another relative but not possible anymore.
I’m wondering if anyone can advise on the best places to travel to as a single parent that ideally has a kids club for him. I’m also very socially awkward but happy to sit in the sun with a book.
Personally with all the travel issues at the moment and it being your first holiday as the only adult, I would stay fairly local. Your son will have we a great time at a local Haven or Butlins. They are so family oriented you will feel relaxed and safe, and you can be as sociable or as private as you wish.
Cruises have kids clubs, plus the kids are relatively safe on the boat and can't get off without you. Every day is different and you'll get to see a bit of the Med (or wherever). And the food and some drinks are all included (plus you can pay a bit extra to have all drinks included, if you like).
