Travel Annoyances*

ByLisa Jayne
It’s been quite a while since my last holiday, and the last time I went on a plane was way over 5 years ago now. But prior to then I was a well seasoned traveler of sorts. Before I went to university and became really poor, I’ve been on some great holidays with my family, including holidays to India, Rome and New York.




Although holidays and travelling is great, I find that there sometimes are things that really bug me about travelling. Recently Cheap Flights shared some of their travel annoyances, and I found them so amusing I thought I’d share a couple of my own.














Packing



I absolutely hate packing. I love to put it off, and then suddenly it’s the morning of the day you’re going away, and nothings been packed. Then I find myself running around like some sort of crazy lady, just throwing things into a case, and then there’s always something I’ve found I’ve forgotten once I’ve arrived at my destination. Always.






The fear of not having your passport or tickets



On the rare occasions that I am organised and I’ve packed properly (pretty much never), I then panic that I’ve not packed my tickets or my passport and have to check about 500 times that it has yes, been packed.




Forgetting my sunglasses



I must own so many pairs of sunglasses, but somehow I always forget to bring them with me. Recently I bought a new pair of retro glasses from ASOS to take on holiday.  However when it came to going on the holiday I completely forgot them, but refused to buy any more so spent the whole holiday squinting. Brilliant.




Not understanding how to get around



I know London’s tube system really well and if  I’m not sure I check out this website that helps me plan my journey’s around London. But if you put me in a new city where I have to navigate around on trains or buses, and I have no idea where I’m going. How does everyone else make this look so easy?!




Having to change plans



I’m that annoying person who plans a holiday in such fine detail, that I know when and where we’re meant to be every day. And if I suddenly have to change plans due to unforeseen circumstances, it can be pretty annoying.




Being ill



There is nothing worse than being ill when you’re far from home. Once on a family holiday in India I was so ill that my family had to go off the day out we had planned without me, on Christmas Day. That was a great holiday…


What are your biggest travel annoyances?

    I live in a really weird house where half of the house has amazing wi-fi signal, and the other half has barely anything. Sadly my bedroom comes into the category of the half of the house that has poor signal. For someone who pretty much lives their life on the internet this can be made…

    I haven’t been on a holiday for years, and I mean years. The last proper holiday I had was with my parents (who paid because I’m poor) to Devon in 2014, and before that was… well, in 2009. I’ve had the odd day trip out, and many many trips up to Sunderland to visit Chris’s…

    Hi Girlies! I thought I’d let you know that I’ve done a guest blog over at Jess’s blog while she’s on holiday! Jess did a post a few days back that she needed guest bloggers and I jumped at the chance! I’ve never been a guest blogger so I was quite excited to give it a go! …

    [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] We’re now on week 4 of Danni’s Nail Art Weekly Project (how quick is this going!) and this weeks theme is the month you were born in. My birthday is in May so I decided to play around with a floral spring theme. I’ve never tried to do anything like this but I was surprised…

    This week has been a rather busy week, as you may have gathered from the lack of posts between last weeks update and this one. I started the week out still recovering from the worst cold ever and trying to get back into my gym routine, but by the end of the week I admitted defeat…
