A Holiday Booked

I have finally booked a short break away.
It's been 10 and a half long years since I have spent a night away from home - so now I have decided to take the plunge and book a break.
I am still waiting for my Passport to arrive (You need a Passport to fly everywhere now Photo I.D like a Driving Licence is acceptable for Internal flights, but since I only have a provisional licence and that runs out next year, I renewed my Passport, that way I have absolution of no Identity problems at the Airport.)
Hopefully, my Passport should arrive next week some time.

I booked with British Airways - not only because they are actually cheaper than flybe - but they also have a luggage allowance included with the Air Fare (Flybe charge £30 for baggage - Ridiculous!).
I was actually only going to use the Hand Baggage allowance to avoid collecting or paying for luggage, but with BA, I may as well use the free luggage allowance as I have a brand new suitcase to put to the test - and where am I going to put the souvenirs I might need want to buy? Also, who knows..I might end up extending the trip if I really like it - I have only booked 2 nights 3 days, just to test how I get on.

So, my destination: St. Brelade - JERSEY (Channel Islands)

I have not planned a thing for whilst I am there - I want to get out of the habit of Meticulously planning everything (Because life always has a funny way of ruining plans!) and know from past experience that the best fun is usually unplanned.
I have looked into Jersey thoroughly though (I wouldn't go there totally 'Blind', I have to know what is available). There are many things I want to do, I aim to do the following whilst I am there:

1. See the Jersey Show and ride the Go Karts at Living Legend 
2. Visit the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust at Les Augres Manor, Trinity
3. Visit the best beach on the Island.

They are just 3 things, there are more I want to do, but I won't have enough time unless I decide to stay longer. So I definitely need to make the most of my time whilst I am there - it's not a cheap trip.

I may buy a bus pass when I get there from the Jersey Tourist Board - Taxi's could work out really expensive otherwise. 

I am going to book the hotel once I arrive, since there are over 150 Hotels/Guesthouses etc on the Island, I will book it online once I arrive, I'm sure to get a last minute cheap booking. This is just in case I back out too, I am hoping I don't - the flight was £76 and it'd be a crying shame to lose that money! But I have to be sensible - If I book the hotel too and back out, that would be another £150 loss!

I am going to attempt a pre-run trip to the Airport asap to see how I get on. 

I shall see if I can take Photo's - I'm a little apprehensive about this, I don't want the airport staff to get concerned about the strange girl taking photo's of the airport! 

So i'll see about this one - if it feels right, I will take a few photo's. 

Ideally, I want to get there and take some photo's of the planes outside (like a plane spotter) - I do miss seeing planes close up, as a child they would always fascinate me! 

I used to love flying on a plane - that was the fun part of the holiday, I wonder if I still feel the same.

So hopefully, my next post will be about the airport...
