IF YOU think going on holiday is stressful, think again.
For the Radfords, Britain's largest family, nothing is straightforward - especially when it comes to travelling abroad.

And the family aren’t keeping things simple with a quick flight to Portugal or Spain for their brood.
Instead, the family-of-22 have gone on a jumbo trip to Florida.
Prior to the trip, we saw Sue showcase her latest manicure on her Instagram stories, revealing that she had paid for some rather special nail art ahead of her trip.
Sue also revealed that she ‘lost will to live’ after spending hours on travel forms for Florida trip only for them to delete.

But now they’ve finally made it to the USA and Sue has taken to Instagram to document their journey and some of the exciting things they’ve been up to.
Sue filmed the family at the airport, with the kids happily running around, excited for their holiday.
We see the children looking at the plane they are due to board, but it turns out that it’s not just any plane.
At the front is the name of the plane - Alfie - which coincidentally is the name of one of Sue’s sons, their 17th child, who was still born on July 6, 2014.

Many Radford fans noticed this coincidence and took to the comments.
One user said: “Anyone else notice the aircraft, that aircraft is made for Alfie.”
Another commented: “It was meant to be you flying in a plane named Alfie.”
Sue then shows the family onboard, as they play games and watch movies to keep busy on the long flight.
We even see them tuck into some food, which looks pretty good as plane food goes.
Later when they arrive in Florida, the kids are seen colouring in and playing games, before they head off to their villa.

Sue then shows the kids swimming in their villa pool, which is huge.
It even has a hot tub and the kids seem very pleased as they get their armbands on, ready to go in.
In another Instagram post, Sue said: “I’m feeling so happy, just had to show I.D to buy some beer” as she holds up a Coors Light.
The family waste no time getting stuck in with all that Florida has to offer and Sue shows the family on a day out at a theme park.
Sue revealed that she bought her husband Noel a t-shirt with the Cat in the Hat on the front.
The family then explored Harry Potter world, but the fire-breathing dragon didn’t go down too well with the younger Radford children, as Sue said: “Safe to say the little ones really didn't like this.”
After a day of exploring, the kids then played a game of pool, whilst Sue tucked into a bag of cheese popcorn.
And the food wasn’t over there, as Noel got the huge barbecue going, which Sue described as “perfect”.
Sue and Noel Radford, are the parent's of Britain's biggest family with a whopping 22 children.
Sue, 46, and Noel, 51, are parents to Chris, 32, Sophie, 28, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 23, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 13, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.
Sadly the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
The family are very clear that they don't take any support from the government, but instead rely on the income from Noel's bakery business to pay for their massive brood.
The bakery is called The Radford Pie Company and Noel launch the enterprise back in 1999.
