Trip Planning

Not everyone is lucky enough to go on a nice holiday every year. I have been fortunate enough throughout my life to have many wonderful vacations and experiences abroad and in the UK, usually multiple times a year. Lately I have not had so many opportunities to do quite as much travelling as I have in the past due to job commitments, however I am still constantly planning future holidays and excursions, even if only as a dream.

Currently in the works is trip to Orlando, yes I need to go back again! My last trip was in October of 2015, I am sure you will see many posts still popping up from this trip. If you would like to see more please find more posts here. I am hoping to go back when the star wars land has opened. This isn't set to open until 2019. So really we want to go back before then. Occasionally myself and Terry will be talking about Orlando and say "lets do it this year", we then have a look online at the prices, then look at our bank account and the dream dies. We are constantly trying to save up. I am going to be doing a blog about saving tips in the future and will link them.

Me and my partner Terry have already decided the things we must do next time we go to Orlando and the things we are happy to miss. As long as we go around Halloween, which I image we shall, we will be attending Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort. This time, we are going to try to attend on multiple nights and I aim to take many more photos and videos, without be so scared. If we are able and have saved enough money we would like to try out Discovery Cove. Volcano Bay is definitely on our to do list along with the usual Disney Parks and Universal Parks. I am excited for Pandora, and look forward to going home to old stomping ground of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. Hogwarts will always be my home.


I have a great appreciation for and interest in Japan. I wouldn't call myself a Japanophile, but I am an aspiring one. I enjoy watching programs about Japan and I have been learning lots about the country over the past couple of years, I have even started to learn the language and was able to use some in a Japanese restaurant recently. (Oishii!) It is a beautiful country but there is so much of it to see. I definitely want to visit the Disney and Universal Parks in Japan. This trip won't be happening for a fair while, but I am still collating every where I would like to visit so I can draw up an literary. You can never do too much research.

My 30th birthday is about 3 years away, and to celebrate I plan to visit California and Las Vagas. I have an idea of how and what I am going to be doing, this is going to be a once in a lifetime trip. Starting in Vegas and then onto San Francisco, followed by a stop off on LA and Anaheim. There is so much to see, so this will be a long trip and a massive celebration of turning 30. It is a dream holiday and I cannot wait to get some serious planning done.



Following my recent trip to Disneyland Paris for Charlottes hen do, I have decided I need to go again. I was not there for long and didn't get to see all of the parks. Plus I went without my partner Terry, and when I returned home and told him about all the star wars attractions and shows, it was decided we must go together. My Dad is also hoping we can all go as a family with my nieces and nephew next year. So it's a definite trip that has to happen. On my recent trip we had such an amazing time, eating an inventions and got some great pictures of the parade. I will post with those pictures soon.



Disney and Universal theme parks are something I love and all the Disney Parks around the globe are on my bucket list. Now this is going to take me a long time, and a lot of saving. I have seen people accomplish this, so why can't I.

My next trip is to London to see the Foo Fighters in September. I have only recently got these tickets so all I have planned is the time off work. We will probably get the coach or train to London and find a cheap hotel near the venue, and I am hoping we will get some time to explore London again.

I used to go to Malaga very regularly, so have explored a lot of the Costa Del Sol. This is because I have family in the area. I visited Fuengirola at the end of June this year, so I will add a new post about this trip soon. It was a lot of fun. We did more active things on this trip and it was so nice to see some of my favourite places and  see what has changed since I was last over there.

This year I visited Newcastle for my best friends wedding. It took place in a castle and was a glorious weekend.

I have so many posts to add about the places I have already been, but I really am always planning the next trip. I like to visit somewhere every couple of months, even though Plymouth is lovely and beautiful, I still like to see new places and get out of my city, even if it's just down the road or to a place I never knew was here.

Until the next trip...
