Need new luggage

Toria — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:07:08 +0000

I realised yesterday that I don’t have any luggage, my last suitcase fell to pieces (that’ll teach me not to buy cheap luggage!) the last time I used it, and although I intended to go buy some more I obviously forgot — now that I actually need it of course, I don’t have any and have now found myself in quite the pickle.

I am going shopping on Tuesday so I had better hope I can get some then otherwise I am going to be taking my things in bin bags haha

York York Baby

My other half just called me to say that he’s booked us a night away, yay. He then told me the room he’s booked only cost £9 and I ‘YAYED’ even louder — Travelodge kicked off a promotion and he happened to be at the right place at the right time and was one of the lucky ones to get a room.

There’s nothing that I love more than getting something for a great price, or even free. I’m such a cheap date

We’ll be heading to York on December 16th, we will be doing some Christmas shopping in the city centre whether he likes it or not. We’ll take a look at the river and hang out there a while, weather permitting. We’ll get something nice to eat and then no doubt end up in a pub or club until closing. It’ll be great, so nice to get away for a short break. I already can’t wait

Dreams of Down Under

Blogging before bed about dream holidays means only one thing for me – dreams of far flung, beautiful places — **happy sigh**

Australia is number one in my head. I have wanted to visit Australia for as long as I can remember — probably influenced by watching Neighbours every week day for 20 years? haha. I just seem to have a natural affinity with Australians and Australia, I love the laid back Aussie attitude, and it always seems so beautiful and exotic.

Or course it’s also the physically most far away as is humanly possible place to the UK, I think it takes 13 hours on a plane, which probably adds to the feeling that it’s exotic and far flung. I don’t know if I will ever make it to Australia, but I sure hope so

Where is your dream destination?

Here I come Atlanta…sort of.

It’s a while before I get to go on holiday again, we’re not made of money so can only really afford to go away for a few days each year — and this year we went to lovely sunny South Wales here in the UK in the middle of June, we wanted to go for our five year anniversary on the 6th but couldn’t arrange it, so we went a week or so later and just counted it as an anniversary vacation regardless.

Even though we won’t be going any where again for a while that doesn’t stop me looking and dreaming, I absolutely love traveling and often do ‘pretend’ holiday searches, what a nerd huh?

One place would love to visit is Atlanta, in the good old US of A. The Stone Mountain adventure park looks amazing and right up our alley, I’d especially love to see the laser show as I enjoy things like that, fireworks, storms etc — I am like a kid, “Ooooh pretty lights in sky” haha. Judging by the amount of Atlanta Tours available at TrustedTours.com it certainly seems like Atlanta is one city it’d be very, very hard to get bored in.

A girl can dream…a girl can dream.
