What it’s REALLY like going on holiday with the Radfords – from 15 suitcases, business class flights & urgent stop offs
THE RADFORD family have given fans a glimpse into the start of their big summer vacation in Florida.
In an eventful vlog, Noel and Sue Radford – and their 22 children – fly to Miami for a sunny getaway.

The video shared for youtubebegins with the Lancashire family enjoying their breakfast before heading to the airport.
Mother Sue, who gave birth to her eldest child in 1989 and her youngest in 2020, films the group checking in and dropping off their bags.
She asks her husband of 30 years how many suitcases they have and he replies that they are taking 15.
The excited family makes it to the flight in time with only about 30 minutes left.

Next, Sue checks in from the plane, where she is seated next to her husband and one of their youngest daughters.
She explains to the camera that the size of the group makes it impossible for everyone to sit together.
Some of them enjoy business class seats, while in one part of the plane they have snagged a full twelve-seat row.
During the flight, Noel shows the plane the food they are enjoying, including lemon curd mousse for dessert.

Upon landing in Orlando, the family split into two groups to travel in people carriers to their final destination – with Sue and Noel at the wheel.
One of her older daughters tells the camera that they still have three hours and 40 minutes to drive to Miami.
The trip doesn’t quite go according to plan, however, as they urgently need to make a stop at Walmart to buy some snacks along the way.
Sue said that on reflection they shouldn’t have taken such a long drive straight after their flight, noting that they are “so tired” now.
However, they ended their first vacation vlog just ten minutes before the villa they will be staying in.
The video, which has been viewed more than 61,000 times, was met with widespread admiration from fellow parents.
One person wrote: “You are braver than me. There’s no way I could do what Sue and Noel are doing.”
Another commented: “Wow it’s amazing how many times you’ve been with so many kids! You are very blessed.”
