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?

    001. I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front this week as I’ve been swamped with uni work. I’ve got a group presentation to do on Thursday, so my group & I have spent the week in the library getting it done. 002. I’ve also been a bit lazy and haven’t been to the…

    Valentine’s Day Gift Guide #1

    Now it’s February everyone’s focus has switched from getting fit and being healthy, to all things Valentine’s Day. I find that Valentine’s Day gifts can often get a little samey, with the usual chocolates and flowers still proving to be popular. Although this year I’ve spotted a couple of different gifts, and thought I’d share them with you in case…

    No Spend September Update

    After being the type of person who’s always poor and can’t ever save money I decided it was time to start No Spend September. Being absolutely hopeless at spending bans, and completely failing at the 100 day ban I did before I decided a 30 day ban would be a lot easier. I’m now over half…

    Hunterian Museum

    I love museums. I think it goes back to when I was a child and my dad would sometimes take me and my brother to London museums as a great day out. I’ve been to the science and history museums so many times now, but still love going for a day out to them. As…
