Okay. So I almost already know the answer, but I could do with some encouragement!
After my mc last year (April), I decided to get my scuba diving certification in the Philippines for my birthday (October). It gave me something to look forward to that I wouldn't have been able to do if the pregnancy had continued and it helped pull me out of the despair I felt. Fast forward to now, that diving trip didn't pan out, and we're working towards TTC in August 2015. We already have summer plans, and it suddenly occurred to me that if I don't go before June, I may never get to go until.....who knows when??
So Easter holiday is my last window! Only 4 weeks away, and like many places it's a peak travel time in Asia, so not the cheapest. OH is not the type to support spontaneous decisions that impact our finances...Long story short, he thinks I should go because it means so much to me, but he doesn't want to go because he is trying to apply for jobs with higher pay before we TTC and wants to focus on that for the next couple of months.
All that is great, but I don't want to go alone
My sister lives over here too, but can't afford to come with me. One friend can afford it, but won't have enough time off. Another friend already has travel plans somewhere else. It seems like it is the perfect opportunity for a 'spiritual' trip of sorts - all by myself, doing something that means a lot to me, a great chance to really get in tune with myself before my life changes permanently. But...I'm scared. I almost always travel with OH and when I don't, I'm meeting up with friends or something. I know I should go and would regret it if I didn't, but I can't seem to pull the trigger and book the flight...
Should I just not go and hope to have an opportunity again sometime after starting our family? Or should I bite the bullet and go alone....?
