How do you like to do your holidays? (lemmy.zip)

I'm looking to go away in March (from UK), I normally like to pack a tent onto my bicycle, find a ferry to to Europe and explore. But this time I think I'd like a short trip somewhere hot, no cycling. I'm looking at holiday websites but it feels a bit like when I'm in the supermarket trying to find a particular product on the shelf, there's just too much going on and I feel paralyzed and dumb. Tell me how you do yours so I can get some inspiration please :)

We usually have the christmas parties at my house and I am able to go to my room. I would be a lot more anxious if I had to go somewhere else to a party that I could not go away from. I always dread having to go out for other parties.
