Very good site.

 

www.onthebeach.co.uk is pretty good as well.

Whenever I've looked at those sites the headline price looks good but then they add £70 transfers and £30 luggage etc, turns out there isn't much difference from a company you've actually heard of.

Going back to Paris again in October which reminds me of a story from a few weeks ago I may as well put it in here.

 

Endd up absolutely out of it in a place called Harry's Bar, so bad had stole the mic from the guy in the live band and was wandering around getting everyone in there to sing with me, msut have sank 25 vodka in addition to ten pints and a few jaegerbombs.

 

Next 4-5 hours has just vanished and I've woke up on a bench somewhere in Paris, checked all my pockets, no money, phone completely dead and absolutely no idea how to get back to the hotel.

 

It's about 6am now and I'm wandering around in the searing heat with shoes, trousers and a long sleeve shirt on went for a walk and kept asking any bar that was still open if they had a Samsung phone charger, no chance anywhere and most seemed to be saying you'll have to buy something to even get a look in the box.

 

Absolutely no idea what to do and after wandering for what must have been an hour randomly ended up wandering past a fish market, load of boxes being jetwashed by the fella opening it up so I asked him if I could help. He laughed and I took the jet wash off him and started cleaning his fish trays for him, did about 15 on this crate. Took me about 20 mins then I said can I have 10 euros to get home? He laughed and said follow, took me into the back and he had about 50 trays stood there, and said 'them, 20 euros'

I said no worries, handed me the wash and I went to work, things were nasty as **** and I was sweating like a pig and absolutely stunk, must have taken me two hours to get all this shit off his trays and then he gave me 20 euros.

 

Hailed down a cab and told him to take me back to the Novotel, after 2 mins all his windows went down and his hand was over his nose, what the fcuk he must have thought I had been doing all night getting into a cab at 8.30am still in my shirt and trousers stinking of fish so badly he was going to need his car fumigated I'll never know.

 

Got back to the Hotel and the fair was about 23 Euros, I started gesturing that I only had 20 and he wasn't having it, couldn't speak a word of English so I started turning all my pockets out to show that I didn't have a cent more.

 

Turned out the back one and you guessed it, a 50 euro note falls out, all that walking, stinking, grafting and somehow I had missed this in my back pocket. Unreal.

Went to New York, Miami and Las Vegas a few weeks back. Haven't been America since I was a toddler, so obviously don't have a great deal of recollection of that time around, but it was incredible. Always wanted to go to New York as i'm forever seeing/reading that it's the greatest city in the world, and I can see why now. The only disappointment was that the Statue of Liberty was closed until Independence Day due to the severe floods last year, but everything from Times Square to Ground Zero made It by the far best city I've ever visited.

I was a little let down by Miami though, It was as I expected in terms of being full with posers in rented Ferrari's driving up and down South Beach trying to get the slightest bit of attention from anybody who's willing to give them it, but the nightlife was either too expensive to even begin to think about going in, or just non existent. I can see why the likes of Collymore, St Ledger and Curtis Davies were knocking about though, as I can imagine it being a footballers haven. One thing that added to the experience however, was the Heat being in the finals of play offs at the time, adding for an incredible atmosphere even at the bars when the games were on. 

Las Vegas was absolutely as I was told, but still a huge surprise to me; it really is like nowhere else I have been, or ever likely to go. From the minute you wake up to the minute you go to sleep there is something weird and or wonderful going on somewhere, from a man dressed as Alan (Hangover) in a nappy attempting to get his foot ran over by a bus and 2 fat people racing up an escalator the wrong way, to roof top parties and pool parties; just surreal. Would wholeheartedly recommend anybody to go who has never been!

Is a 1 hour 50 layover in Amsterdam enough time? This whole flying lark is proper new to me.

If it's a connecting flight then it's plenty of time. You don't have to check in again or anything so all you need to do is get from one plane to the next.

Yeah it will be. Wasn't too sure how much they faff about before letting you off the plane and that. So it should be a piece of piss then?
