Advantages: Easy peasy

Disadvantages: Minor lack of control

I am not a confident traveller to say the least. But this year I was feeling desperate for a break and decided to throw all caution to the wind and let the holiday organise itself. This involved sitting on the sofa one Saturday morning and flicking through the Ceefax travel pages (looking for bargains).
I contacted a group who had a deal to Menorca and the rest as they is history. I arived at the airport the following Friday without tickets and very sketchy details of the accommodation. After running around like a loony to find the check in desk I was whisked through to the departure lounge where I watched wide-eyed and bored as groups of typically tired travellers wandered from the whisky shelf to the gin shelf and then to the vodka shelf. Duty Free fools are one of the reason why I so dislike the airport experience.
But once on the plane my mood changed and the rest of the holiday was a dream. A week on the cheap, I'd recommend it to anyone, even a nervous traveller like me.
