Where does every Brit go when they want sun & a cheap holiday? Tenerife! Nikki & I had been dating for about seven months at the time so decided we should go away on our first holiday together. We had been to Rome for a weekend but we wanted to go somewhere for two whole weeks of sun, relaxation, sun, nice food, sun & most importantly FUN....oh did I mention sun? lol. One of the things I love most about Nikki is that she’s different from most other women when it comes to money, most women I know/have met aren’t always “good” with money (could just be the women I know lol) but Nikki is always looking for the best deal or wanting to barter with people, I am the opposite, if I find something I ... read more

My trip to Dublin was quite some time ago now but I’m going to write about the bits I remember (the funny highlights), three of us went out to Dublin but only two returned, a lot of alcohol was drunk and a lot of funny times were had by all, this is what I remember of the carnage that was St Patricks day 2005. We had an early flight and by the time we landed and got to the hotel it was about 8am, when we looked out of our window you could actually see the parade that’s how central our hotel was, the parade wasn’t starting for a few hours so we went to a local cafe and had a fry up and a pint of Guinness, well I had a Guinness and blackcurrant as ... read more

I am going to apologise in advance for this blog, I cannot remember much of my time in Kos but wanted to share my pictures with people/friends so please excuse my blog (or lack of a blog) & I hope you enjoy what I do remember & the few pictures I have that bring back so many memories. When I was 21 I had planned with my friend Peter to take a year (or two) out to travel however a job opportunity came up that I could not ignore & I was unable to travel, sadly my friend Peter did not go travelling either but he did spend a summer season in a part of Kos called Kardamena, which we had both spoke about doing to start our travels. Whilst he was there my friend Michael ... read more

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to try everything life has to offer, I have done a bungee jump (read my Rhodes blog), sky dived (read my 'Skydive to raise money for charity in 1999....when I was 16 years old!' blog), scad dived (a free fall of 150 feet in to a net, I did this at the end of a pier in Blackpool, England), sky surfed (read my Rhodes blog) now to conquer the sky completely I needed to wing walk (if there is anything I haven't listed please let me know I WANT TO DO IT! lol). It wasn’t as straight forward as book your appointment, pay your money, do it, I had to pay for a year’s membership to an aviation club and then pay for the wing walk ... read more

At 16 you haven't really done anything in life but I knew I wanted to do a skydive from a very young age, the youngest legal age to skydive in the UK is 16 so I thought what better way to celebrate then to skydive, I looked into how to book a skydive and found that I could raise money for the National Deaf Children's Society at the same time. Sponsorship raised, date of the jump booked and I got up early to go to Headcorn, I chose the wrong time of year to do it, it was October when I eventually got around to booking it and when I got there I waited for a few hours only to be told the weather was too bad and we wouldn't be able to jump today. I ... read more
