How do you start your holiday?

worried_jim

The weather is starting to turn cooler. But not for me, my flight to Turkey leaves in a few hours!

Bags are packed, money is changed at a fat better rate than last year (3.1TL V 2.71), which makes it just under £1 a pint in the right places.

Have checked in online and have the two seats by the wing exit, have paid for a meal as a treat and will be in Gatwick Weatherspoons having a cheeky shandy or two from 1pm onwards.

Have downloaded last nights Breaking Bad and Dexter to watch on the flight.

Just off for a big fry up at Carrots cafe on Brighton seafront.

This is how I start my holidays every year- how do you start or plan to start yours?


My view tomorrow morning as I have my breakfast-

Usually by rushing around in the dark at 3-30am worrying if the car is going to break down on the way to the airport for a 6am flight. Why is it that the holiday I fancy allways has the grottiest flight times?

I won't book a holiday if the flight times aren't right. I hate all that middle of the night stuff before leaving home.

I know that feeling well, which is why for our next holiday, which we will have to leave on a 7am flight, we will be checking into the Premier Inn at Gatwick the night before for £109 including 2 weeks parking and using Easyjet's twilight check in the evening before

Living in the west country the choices are not great especially slightly out of season

Don't panic- I am going to a really nice town called Gulluk, it's off the beaten track and there are no tourist resorts there or hassle from the locals. Gulluk is a quiet fishing village that is delightful and this will be my third holiday there.
Look for yourself at-

By getting in from work.

All holiday arrangements I leave in the far more capable hands of my husband & offspring, who will come & fetch me (from the shower, on one memorable occasion) when they want the driver.

Have a lovely time in Turkey!
