"Im going to France and Holland"

Me and my family are going on a slightly different holiday comapared to the usual. We're driving to Portsmouth, taking a Ferry to France, driving from one part of France which I cant remember the name of to Paris, the going from Paris to Holland.

Im scared.

Im used to going places like America, Spain, Africa etc, places with beaches. But this is gonna be totally different, and im afraid I might not enjoy it.

I can see myself being in a car most of the time playing on my PSP, which I could easily do at home infront of the TV.

I think we're stopping at Paris and staying in a hotel for about 4 days, then going to Holland and staying in a hotel there for about 3 days.

Well, thats what I think.

Maybe it wont be as bad as im thinking, has anybody travelled to France/Holland by car? What kinda things did you do?

Jesus. Xenophobia anyone?

Go somewhere with an aim to see what's there, not what might be there. Personally, the idea of sitting on a beach for 2 weeks fills me with loathing...

No, just because I said we go to places with beaches doesn't mean I sit there all week sun-bathing. I was born brown, if I sun-bathe I will turn black, black as in the colour of this text.

So no, I dont just lie on a beach. Im just saying that we usually go to resorts instead of hotels.

So go, explore and enjoy another country and a new experience.

What's wrong with you?

Beach holidays suck, they're unbelievably boring. There is always something better to do, unless you go to like Ibiza or Gran Canaria or something

America/Spain/Africa - If you just go for the beaches then why don't you go to the same place each year?

Where did you go to specifically?

The fiances father has an apartment in Gran Canaria. I've never been to a more souless, hawker filled, uttely mindnumbingly tedious place in my life. Never again.

Just remember that I dont decide where I go on Holiday, if my mum and dad want to go to a beach holiday then we go to a beach holiday, so theres nothing wrong with me going to a beach holiday because I dont exactly have a choice.

Dunno, ask my mother. We dont go there for the beaches, but we usually stay in a resort near a beach to keep my little sis happy.

Errr...

America - New York/Maryland/Orlando

Spain - Manorca

Africa - Nigeria/Tunisia

I'm going to the Maldives for 2 weeks this year with the family. Mum/Sister love sitting on the beach. Suits me, frees up me and my dad to windsurf and scuba dive for 2 weeks solid. Best place I've ever dived, the Maldives. Really looking forward to it.

Then, when I get back, I'm off to Barcelona and Madrid for 10 days with mates from uni. So I'm doing both the holiday types. Travelling is great, Mozzy, don't knock it. Paris is a beautiful city.

I want to go to Machu Picchu :(
