I went on one in the early 90s with a boyfriend.... we didn't particularly want 18-30 it was just the cheapest & we were skint. We ended up in Kos, where thankfully they put all the couples out of the way in a quiet hotel away from it all. I do remember the "Welcome meeting" though. It consisted of getting picked up on a Moped, by the rep, and shuttled to the host hotel at 9.30am. Once we'd all been shuttled their (one by one, no helmets!), we were given a double B52 to down, followed by another, and another ... after a bit of useful info (what time the bar crawl was strating etc), we were then offered a moped ride back to our hotel by the rep, (who had also been downing the cocktails). We walked back.... and kept a safe distance from the 18-30 lot for the week. There were some casualties on the bus to the airport mind.
Been on a few Didn't go on any of the excursions as they're full of tossers who can't handle their drink and are a complete rip off.
Go away You and your witty rhyming slang. I'm still having to explain why I was caught fiddling with my tentacles in the Dil Raj. But I have to admt, "Saga Lout" - I quite like it
I have been on a couple, in the 90's, to Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Because they were cheapest, but went with about 10 mates each time. It was a case of not going to the welcome meeting and telling the rep "Just leave us to our own devices thanks". They never used to bother us, just left us to it. I suppose, in a way, that means I haven't been on one.
Garbage Such a holiday would be totally UNSUITABLE for me, as you well know. Anyway get back to bed with your Vick and Lemsip while I sort out the details of your life ban. How's the plague?
RE: Garbage Not good. Doubtful for Saturday. Had to put up with sleep all morning; daytime tv, farcebook; and being waited on. Wish I was back at work. :'(
