summer holidays

After the long ice age Winter we have just had, I am in need of sun. 
At the end of what was a really bad week (it included two hospital visits, arguments, assessments and tears)

Along came my friend who gave me the answer I was looking for, SUMMER IN IBIZA.

Let the planning begin, my university term finishes in mid April until September (23 weeks). We both have a part time job, but we thought one of the main advantages of the student life is the long summers. So we are flying out to Ibiza on the 4th of June with a one way ticket.  

to do list
  • book flight
  • book accommodation 
  • find a job (as the money tree is NOT in my garden)
  • health insurance 
  • travel insurance


We spent an evening comparing prices flights with numerous airlines, flying from our first airport choice Edinburgh, second choice Glasgow and Prestwick our third choice. It would had to have been good flight times and a saving of at least £15 to make it worth flying from Glasgow or Prestwick.  

We managed to find £39 flight from Edinburgh with Jet2 bargain, but as we went through the purchasing menu the price slowly rapidly crept up to £101. Especially with us being girly girls we increased our luggage to 30kg. I then remembered about the Jet2 points system which we had forgotten to sign up for - so we had to retype in our details, which if your like me you find it irritating the amount of times you have to type your name, DOB and address online.
