Pyramids for my 30th birthday?

pyramids_egypt-300x225We’ve been considering heading to somewhere in Europe in March for my 30th birthday, maybe France, maybe Greece – but I was just looking at all inclusive Egypt trips and actually it works out just as cheap if not cheaper than staying in Europe.

I would much prefer that to be honest, it seems a lot more exotic and special to say you spent your 30th in Egypt than in Kos or Calais!

Egypt is becoming a really popular destination for us Brits because of the prices and the vast array of things to do there for tourists.

Now I just need to work on convincing my other half, he’s not really the adventurous type!

 

Green with envy!

australia-sydney-opera-houseI just found out through facebook that one of my old friends is off travelling for six months around Australia – colour me jealous – you all know by now I love Australia and it is my dream to visit even for a few days, nevermind six months. They are going without a plan though, which I couldn’t do – they are just going to get there, find somewhere to stay for the night and then look for the best Car Rental Prices and start driving.

She’s a braver woman than I, that is for sure. If it were me I would already have the route planned, every place we were going to stay and all the best prices on car rentals!

 

So long orange team

I just got around to watching last weeks The Biggest Loser USA, and by last weeks I mean the one from Tuesday the 10th – I got a little behind, ooops.

I liked the red line but I don’t like that it resulted in Dan going home, he’s one of the least objectionable of the bunch. But he has been there twice and had his chance, so I guess it was the fairest thing.

Shay_Biggest_LoserI am glad that Shay went home as her dummy spit during the challenge was pathetic, and she seemed to have the attitude that she deserved and needed to be there more than any one else. Don’t get me wrong, I wish her no ill and I hope she goes on to lose the weight she wants to – I just didn’t like her attitude!

Interestingly, I don’t know if it was just the copy I had or if they didn’t show it full stop – but they didn’t do an update on her at the end as they usually do with contestants, hmm.

Roll on the next episode :)
