Holidays!

Bonjour!
Today, I am in a very summery mood, as last night I booked a holiday! Yay!
I haven't been on holiday in a couple of years, and it's not until July next year, but I'm still super excited.

I am going to my favourite place in the whole world, a town called Side in Turkey where I've been on holiday 4 times in the past 6 years, and I adore it so much there, and where Sammi visited a month or two ago if I'm not mistaken, which was really weird to see one of my fave bloggers, posting pics in my fave place on IG.

So, that got me thinking about my favourite things about holidays.
My all time favourite smell is sun cream, as it reminds me of summer and sun, the beach, and happy memories. Honestly, if its mid-winter and you're feeling down about the weather, just grab a bottle of sun cream, and rub a bit on to your wrists, and it just smells like summer (I probably sound like a right nutter!)

I adore flying. I first flew abroad before the age of 18 months, so it's just something I've always done, and for some reason it really calms me, and I honestly find it so hard to comprehend how anyone can be scared of airplanes, they're the safest mode of transport!

Airports really excite me too. Like train stations, I get amazed by how many people gather in one place, like a pit stop on all their journeys, for business or pleasure, but this moment waiting at the station/airport can be shared with all these strangers around you.. and then they're gone. I get very fascinated by people.

Holiday shopping - who doesn't love a good shop, and that feeling of holiday shopping, when you don't let your self wear the really really nice dress until you've unpacked your suitcase at the other end just adds to the exciting anticipation.

I also like how confident we can be on holidays. Now, I'm a big girl, and I don't feel confident enough to wear bikinis on holiday, but even wearing a swimming costume on holiday is a big step for me, and I know a lot of other big girls who wear bikinis abroad and look gorgeous and really embrace their new found confidence. I love the fact that nobody judges you if your wearing the tightest bikini or budgie smugglers no matter how big or small you are, and I dont feel like we have that sense here on our beaches.

Trying the food is also a must. I'm a very much stick to what I know kind of person when it comes to food, but I always feel like I should go out of my way to try foreign cuisine and tend to really surprise myself and really love what I find. (This excludes that cheeky bowl of chips by the pool)

So there's what I really love about holidays - A bit long winded and I probably missed out a few, but there we have it. What do you love about holidays? Have you  got any booked, or just got back? Let me know in the comments!
