Do you remember your first proper holiday abroad? ☀️
For Caroline, it was only a few weeks ago!
Caroline took her very first holiday abroad in July, and chose to go to Benidorm with staff member Mandy. It was five days full of boat trips, swimming, shopping and beach days. 🏖️
Pretty amazing for her first time, and to fit in so much for such a short trip.
With all the change and trepidation that can go hand-in-hand with travelling, especially abroad, we think Caroline did incredibly well! ⭐
