I cant believe i havent had a summer holiday since 2008!! Thats 2 years ago! Time flies when you’re not having fun

I think i need a holiday, the weather is shit here, its boring, and i wanna go abroad! Sometimes i think i have been abroad lots and i am lucky, but other times i dont, there is so much more to see, i should go and see it! Lots of people have been to loads more places than i have, and people go further afield these days aswell.

For a summer holiday i have fancied going somewhere further away, like Mexico, USA, Dominican Republic or somewhere like that. The problem there is that i HATE flying, well not so much flying, but the prospect of crashing! Today i was randomly reading about Pattaya which is a coast resort in Thiland! I couldnt imagine wanting to go there in the past, but now i kind of would. I would still go on a summer holiday in Europe, but would prefer somewhere i havent been, or havent been for a long time, like Malta or Cyprus, both are really cool places to go.

I would also like to do “city holidays” in Europe, more short breaks rather than weeks in the same place.

Should i go back to Mallorca? If you read below, you will see i have been once or twice

Here is a list of the places i have been, i have attempted to put the years in too, which are a bit sketchy. I only missed a few years since i was really young, i think i missed 4 years in the last 20! I also have a map

Alcudia, Mallorca, Spain (1990)
Salou, Costa Dorada, Spain (via France) (1991)
Torremolinos, Costa Del Sol, Spain (1992)
Qara, Malta (1994)
Llorett De Mar, Costa Brava, Spain (1996)
Playa De Palma, Mallorca, Spain (1997)
Limassol, Cyprus (1998)
Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain (1999)
Marmaris, Turkey (2000)
Cala Bona, Mallorca, Spain(2002)
Cala Millor, Mallorca, Spain(2002)
Cala Bona, Mallorca, Spain (2004, 2005, 2006)
Sunny Beach, Bulgaria (2007)
Cala Bona, Mallorca, Spain (2008)
Amsterdam, Netherlands (2009)

The place i have been the most of course is my home away from home Cala Bona in Mallorca. In 2002 when i was 18 i was there for a few weeks, went back and actually stayed in Cala Millor which is just down the road for a week. In 2004 i when back and was there ALL SUMMER!!!! Such a great time! 20yrs old, definatly one of the best times of my life and i will always remember it 2005 i went back twice, and 2006 i was there twice more, for 1 and 3 weeks. 2008 was the last time i was there, its weird going back to a place you have been, things do change! In total i think i have spent 17 weeks in Cala Bona alone, which is over 4 months!

These days i do not care about going clubbing EVERY night in rammed clubs until 5am. There was once a time when i did, but i think i have done that to death. I would still do it, but its not top of my list of things to look for in a holiday. I still wanna go out and have a good time, but dont feel the need to go clubbing every night until 5am. bars or chilled out places are much better these days, less is more; then go to the beach and watch the sun come up…Now that i can get used to! And yeah, i have done that a few times, and if you havent, i really recommend it. I think the key to having a good holiday is to mix it up and do different things, believe me it does get boring going clubbing over and over, same places and the same faces.
