Shall I give up on holidays?

I know the feeling. My best one was on my 60th birthday in china where I ended up in hospital on a drip. Wonderful treatment, though ?

I always seem to get sick on holiday. I've had some terrible food poisoning incidents .

I know how you feel. You have explained more or less the situations I have found myself in.
I can give you my best advice (but I don't follow it!)

Persevere with going away on your own, but just for a day or even less.
Try day coach trips.
Eventually you will find someone to chat to and then the chatting will become more relaxed and comfortable.
Don't give in just yet.
If you have your health and husband can be left, try to find the courage to test the waters on your own.
And don't expect too much from yourself or the trip.
Take the pressure off yourself.

Good luck

Do what makes you happy! If holidays don't tick the box for you, then don't go.
