Your first ever holiday.

Archeron

Mine was to the fair city of Galway. I was about 3 years old and I remember that the bumper cars made me cry, so they had to shut them down so that I could get off . I also remember that it rained continuously for the week that we there, and the hotel we stayed in was built in the middle of a huge concrete square that looked more depressing that anything I'd ever seen.

Whether or not we were double booked, or just too poor to afford two rooms, I remember that my parents and their four childer (incl me) all stayed in the one small room. There were three mattresses on the floor for the three with no beds. During the night, someone opened our door while we were all pretending to be asleep and threw an ashtray at my eldest brother. He blamed another brother who then sulked for two days and missed out on the crab soup we had in the hotel bar. Which I actually thought had a crab living in it under the surface. Those are really the only memories I have of my first ever holiday.

Such weird memories stay with you for your first ever venture into the big oul world.
Do you remember anything of yours?

First I can remember is going to Pwllheli in Wales when I was about seven or eight.

Got to go on the Boomerang rollercoaster.

Not a good idea for one who gets motion sickness!

Used to go there too.

Before the Boomerang too, then it was built and we went a couple more times.

Used to love the cable cars.

Hah, guess what - the bumper cars would make you cry now too, it still rains continuously, and they just spent 10 million to make that concrete square even more depressing!!! Wanna come back?

I'll let you know after I've gone on one!

The only "holidays" I've ever been on have been long weekends. Two of them in total. One to Waterford for New Year Eve 2003 and one to Portrush Co. Antrim June 2006 to see Fatboy Slim. Which kicked ass btw.

First holiday was with my Parents to the Aillwee Caves in Clare, I was 4 and I nearly sh*t a house worth of bricks at one stage, cause they turned off the lights for a few seconds!
