Tenerife - Why would I go there?

Wednesday 17th March

Yes, its St Patrick's day, and instead of being out drowning the shamrock, here am I packing for a quick trip to Tenerife.  Why am I going there, and why am I bothering blogging about it.

Well to answer the second question first, I decided that all trips outside of the British Isles will go on this.  And so even though this isn't really the sort of travel I normally do, its getting blogged.

As for the reasons why, well basically the rest of the family had decided to fly out from Dublin to go there for St Patrick's day.  As it isn't a bank holiday in the UK, it would have been more holidays for me, and there were other work reasons which meant at the time I couldn't go.  But I sorted these out and actually booked a trip out there, but didn't tell them.  So its going to be a surprise. 

But its also not really the type of holiday I usually do, the hotel is an all inclusive one, and its Tenerife, which may not be as bad as Benidorm, but it is a magnet for that sort of holiday maker.  It will be different to the usual type of travel.

P.S. As usual I have left it until almost my next holiday to put in this one.  These were written close to the holiday, but I just never got around to hitting publish.
