What is it?
Simply answer the five questions below, either copy and answer on your blog linking back to here (leave the link in the comments) or just answer in the comments.
Usual disclaimer – all questions are random rubbish.
1. Have you been to a country where you didn’t speak or read a single word, if so where?
2. Is there anything you pack in your luggage that’s never used on holiday but is always taken?
3. Worst Holiday destination you’ve been to – and why?
4. Book online or go to shop?
5. Best holiday destination you’ve been to – and why?

1-Greece,Iceland …Tunisia, Turkey…
2-no…too many weight restrictions nowadays…
3-Nice, not so much the city and surroundings that are lovely but my mum did not do her homework very well and rented a flat in the worst drug dealing area of the city…we looked totally out of place with our flippers…
4-Online!!!
5-Venice for the Carnival remains one of my favorite destination/experience as a family destination…
1. Greece
2. Foundation – usually too hot to wear it
3. Marmaris in Turkey – mostly hideous although the old town has a charm.
4. Online naturally
5. Kalkan in Turkey – beautiful place, wonderful people, great restaurants, perfect if you like a bit of culture with your sun/sea holiday. Though Olu Deniz comes a close second – for the chilled out ambience and the awesome paragliding.
