Blog Challenge (29): Where have you travelled?

As i've said before, my mum is a bit of sun worshipper so as a child we had lots of 'sun' holidays to places such as Majorca, Spain, Greece and the Canaries etc. I am not really a 'culture vulture' so tend to opt for the same sorts of holidays when choosing my week away each year.

In 2007, I went to Newquay with a group of 10 girls. It was a typical girls holiday constisting of fancy dress, tutu's and LOTS of cheap wine!

2008 & I went to Magaluf with 2 friends on a 2 week extravaganza. Anyone that's been to Magaluf (especially as a alcohol loving teen!) will understand the need for another holiday right after it and that's why about 2 weeks after our return from Magaluf, we then jetted off to Murcia in Spain for a lovely chilled girlie relax consisting off a lot less wine, lovely meals and relaxing with a good book by the pool!

In 2009, I went to Llorett De Mar in Spain for yet another, girly holiday with my best friend Jess.

2010 and I was settled with Mr C and we went to Dublin for Valentines Day. It was gorgeous and we had a great time. I would most definitely recommend it as a place however it is VERY expensive! In the summer we then went to Lanzerote on a family holiday with my mum, dad, nan, grandad & my brother.

In 2011, I went to Palma Nova in Majorca for 3 nights with my mum & best friend as a 'well done on finishing your dissertation and not going mad!' present from my mum. The day after my graduation ceremony, Mr C whisked me back off to Lanzarote on a romantic week away for the 2 of us.

We have yet to have a holiday in 2012 as we opted for a baby instead! I am most definitely going stir crazy in England and NEED some sun! In the next few years, I hope to travel to:

Portugal - next summer for Baby C's first holiday & mummy's chance to rest and relax!

Australia

Italy

The Lake District

Blog Challenge (16): What's top of your bucket list?

As i've said before I'm not particularly adventurous and I like it that way. It's not that i'm not ambitious, it's more of the fact that i'm a chicken and the thrill of the adrenaline is not a big enough lure to persuade me to throw myself out of a plane or swim with Great Whites!

So top of my bucket list would have to be;

Visiting Australia.

This is something that i've always wanted to do. I have travelled quite a bit, in fact probably once or twice a year for the majority of years since I was born however, my mum's something of a sun worshipper rather than a culture vulture so we've always travelled to 'those' sorts of places such as Spain or the Canaries. Give my mother a sunbed and a cocktail over a visit to some archelogical site anyday! I've somewhat ashamadley inherited that same passion and since I've been planning my own holidays, have only really ventured to the same tacky places as i'm used to!
