“She Was Raging”: Woman Says She’ll Join Family Vacation Only Without Cousin’s Little Kids, Gets Told Off By Relatives

Ginna

Life is such an unpredictable thing that it can bring both pleasant and unpleasant surprises, and, what is most offensive, unpleasant ones usually happen when we have already made plans for ourselves, swung in the clouds and relaxed in anticipation of something good.

Well, here’s some further evidence, such as this story on the AITA Reddit community by user u/StrangeConcentrate22, about how her own relatives nearly ruined her plans for a perfect and long-awaited vacation. After all, what kind of rest and relaxation can we talk about when a couple of toddlers are traveling with you?

The author of the post was looking forward to her first vacation in six years, but her relatives ruined everything at the last moment

The older sister told her that she’d like to invite her cousin with two toddlers to join the family vacation

The family drama ended with the sister giving the author the silent treatment over this situation

So the Original Poster (OP) honestly admits that she has spent the last six years with little to no rest. If you can, of course, call short-term episodic breaks between several jobs, studying and teaching fitness classes as a side gig rest. Yes, the woman claims that even these short breaks can be counted on the fingers of one hand… And now, six years later, she has managed to find time for a full vacation.

The OP’s parents and two older sisters suggested that the five of them go on a journey at the beginning of the year and, as the woman recalls, she spent the past months looking forward to a long-awaited vacation. And literally at the very last moment, one of the older sisters pitched a new idea – she said that she had invited her cousin

Don’t travel internationally unless you think you can handle being alone with COVID-19, says Windsor resident Tracy Kell, whose romantic getaway to Cuba turned into an ordeal.

If Tracy Kell could go back in time a few weeks, she’d probably advise her past self to cancel her trip to Cuba.

The 43-year-old Windsor resident has been sharing her disastrous travel experience after she fell ill with COVID-19 while on a romantic getaway with her husband.

“Hindsight is 20/20, of course,” said Kell, now back home and given the all-clear by her doctor and Health Canada.

“I don’t blame Cuba by any means. I just think I was too eager to go on a vacation. I felt safe. We’re both double vaccinated. But with all the uncertainty …”

Kell trailed off as she reflected on the ordeal that started her new year. “There’s no rulebook for what you do if you’re in Cuba, or the Dominican Republic, and you get COVID. You’re kind of on your own.”

Parents of two, Kell and her husband planned their vacation months ago: They try to make a trip to the resort community of Varadero every year.

“We just go to relax,” Kell explained. “It’s like our kid-free time.”

They arrived in Cuba on Dec. 30, with their return flight booked for Jan. 6.

But the day after their arrival, Kell started noticing a sore throat. That evening, she became feverish.

“Then it got pretty bad. I don’t remember much from that night,” Kell
