SINGAPORE – It is a relief to be able to type: We survived a two-week holiday overseas with no major incidents. (Would you count a second broken luggage wheel and a downpour that ended our visit to a farmers’ market before it began? I wouldn’t.)
Because of my oldest daughter’s autism and epilepsy, “major incident” has a different meaning to me than it might to others. It also turns on its head a large part of many people’s holiday experience – looking forward to a trip.
