Fatherhood Reflections XXXIX - Travel Restrictions

So we have just discovered that when you have primary school-going children, your family holiday windows are totally restricted now. 

No more going off at any whim and fancy, just skip school and fly.

Funny no one ever warned us of this.

Now family holidays are restricted to the main June and December holidays. There is also a one week window in March and September. Where prices of flights and accommodations are absolutely through the roof. And if they're not fully booked, everything else is at exhorbitant prices.

Yet in spite of all this people are still willing to pay through their noses, so us middle class cannot compete.

So this is what peak period is like.

How to go on a family holiday like that?

Book super mega early!
