The first time I took my children on an aeroplane and we had two weeks in the Canaries. Having those two weeks creating memories was wonderful, we went up a Volcano and saw dolphins in their natural habitat.
On top of that I felt incredibly proud of myself having saved the money to take them, I know loads of people do it every year but we were and still are a one wage family so it felt a big deal to me.

You can't beat having an inside none touristy view of a country, absolutely priceless |

My nan used to live in Brixham, Devon and I hold many happy memories of visiting her there on holidays. Back then (the early eighties) it was a far slower, more peaceful way of life down there as most of the locals consisted of old folk who had obviously opted to retire by the sea |

Tuscany by car 30years ago with a girl friend, hired a little 500cc motor from Pisa airport which struggled getting up the hills.
Used my schoolgirl Italian, ate in charming little villages, paid £50 for a week in a villa with pool as it was April and out of season.
Lovely memories. |

My best holiday ever was the first time i went to the "Kasbah Tamadot" in Morocco. First went there about 5 years ago with a friend it was just magical, i was completely in aw of the hotel, the surroundings, the food, the service, everything................it was perfect.
Went back this Xmas on my own and just WOW................it was even better even though i was on my own. Yes it costs half a kidney............but just save the dosh and go.............it will blow your mind. |

My best holiday ever was Fiji.
I stayed at the Sheraton in denarau island. It was beautiful and peaceful and quiet and time didn't exist, every thing was just "Fiji time" |
