I Am Looking For A Folding Beach Umbrella I Can Pack In My Suitcase

stressedoutmum

We are off on holiday soon and I cannot sit directly in the sun as I have eczema and get bad headaches. I always need to sit under an umbrella and every year its a battle to find one at various hotels I have been to and it does put a damper on your hold when you have to get up early to secure one. I don't like doing this but otherwise I'd never get one. I have been reading on holiday truths that our hotel is very short of umbrellas and its getting me worried. Although there are shaded areas the boys love playing in the pool and I dont want to be sitting in the shade on my todd. Is there such a thing as a portable parasol that I can take and also what sort of base would you sit it in?

Why don't you try ringing the hotel and explaining that you have a medical problem which requires you to keep out of the sun. They might be happy to help out and put an umbrella aside for you. Or you might be able to hire one from them.

I saw something like this in superdrug today for £2.99 I didn't take a lot of notice of the base but if it has a spike you could stick it in soil or wedge it with a rock or 2.

Hope this helps
