Staycation or Vacation?

Santander 123 Card

 

 

Now that we are in full swing of the summer holiday season, it’s no surprise that 27th July saw the start of the most popular holiday week in the UK.

I peaked far too early with my holiday this year by going on May 1st which means I have had to watch everyone else go away (Boo!).

We have been unsure when the sale of our new house would complete and couldn’t commit to booking a holiday until we were sure. To make up for that, Paul and I have been having days out and weekends filled with home grown adventures both near and far! We usually try to go away for his birthday which falls in the middle of August. This year we settled for an American themed drinks party full of our favourite treats from trips across the states.

DFDS Sunderland Air Show Sailing

DFDS Sunderland Air Show Sailing

When asked what my number 1 fear is, I say boats. Without shadow of a doubt. Does it stop me from experiencing new things? No, I have rode speedboats in Cuba, traversed the Rhine in a boathotel, Gondola’s in the Grand Canal and sailed around Manhattan – and hated every single minute of it. DFDS challenged me on my fear.

Taking the bull by the horns, the Sunderland Air Show sailing would be the perfect time to beat my fear once and for all. At 32 years old, if I can manage a day at sea, imagine the places I could go!
