But if I'm going on holiday somewhere, I want to experience some of the culture of the country I'm in. I cannot understand how some people can sit on the beach or by the pool all day, it would bore me to tears, even with a good book at hand. A couple of days of that is OK, but a whole fortnight? You might as well have a few sessions on a sunbed at home, and then go out every night.

I got caught in Hurricane George in Florida back in the 90's. Scary as fuck. Driving back from the Keys, there was a sudden flash flood and the road went from being 'a bit wet' to about 18" of water within a few minutes. The full force of the hurricane hit the day after we flew home.

If was our first holiday of that type we'd ever taken and if didn't have the hire car I'd have gone crazy, and we were only there for a week. Just ten minutes drive from the resort was this fantastic old sanctuary at the top of a 509m mountain. The drive up there ranks as the second most terrifying of my life but it was worth it and the kids really enjoyed it. Not one other person I spoke to at the hotel had heard of it. Two weeks sitting by the pool drinking San Miguel and slush puppies whilst turning into a roast turkey would send me ga-ga.
