i have a little dilema and dont know what i should do.
I have not had time off work for about 8 months and a actuall holiday in years.
My grandparents cant go to their timeshare this year so there is 2 weeks available in Spain on a resort. I have a week off work and am thinking about going.
Flights will cost me £120 and i am sure i could live on £200 for the week, the question is should i go on my own?
I am unable to take anyone with me due to it being too late notice/they cant get time off work and they have no money.
I would think that in the day i would just sit by the pool and the afternoon would eat (but i wont look like a loner) and then what to i do afterwords?

I'm not the kind of person who would go somewhere internationally on his own, but mainly down to lack of confidence/experience than anything else.
But I've also been in the same boat re: holidays (none for ages, makes you feel like work is the only thing in life!!) so I'd say if you have a chance for a well earned break, grab it with both hands.
Lots of people go on holiday alone
I mean...
HOME:
Wake up at 2pm, sit on PC/spend money on crap and go to bed at like 4am
SPAIN:
Wake up at 9pm, sit by the pool/sea get a nice tan and then go out either to a bar for a few drinks.
I know what one wins, cheers!
Awesome, enjoy!
lol, and therefore it makes sense she should stay in Britain.
true?
well, france does not have unified alcohol prizing. So if I order a beer in King Ludwigs castle from Jacques Chirac himself I will probably pay a bit more if I order a beer in some sleazy harbour dive.
Yeah, he's probably not far off. The euro exchange rate is rubbish at the mo. Although in my experience Spain is usually cheaper than France, it will be more than usual cause the prices over there haven't changed, but you get a lot less for your sterling.
If your pint of beer is €6, a couple of years ago that would have worked out about £4, but now it's pretty much £6. Not great.
