Lets all go on holiday!!:)

Hey guyzz:D We haven't posted since like Easter so sorry!! But here we go, here's a post.
So last night I got back from Spain (first time abroad, eep!!). I went on an exchange with school for a week. I'm just gonna say, it was the best experience of my life. I'm not joking or exaggerating, it was fab. If any of you have the opportunity to do an exchange, do it. You make loads of new friends, foreign and from your country, and you make a ton of memories. It is such a great thing to do, and if you stay in touch with your exchange you have a friend for life, and maybe you can go back and stay with them again in the summer or something (I really want to go and stay with Irea again, I miss her and her family loads).
So I just thought I'd make a post with some advice about going on holiday. I'll do another one specifically about exchanges later.

1) If you are travelling by plane, weigh your suitcase before you leave the house/hotel/wherever. This didn't happen to me, but its a horrible feeling wondering if your suitcase is too heavy or not. Its even worse if it is too heavy, then you have to take some stuff out and put it in your hand luggage or a friends suitcase, or if you can't then you have to pay. Its not good, and its easier just to weigh it beforehand and then you can take out all 7 Harry Potter books you were planning on bringing if your suitcase is too heavy.
2) Be sparing with the clothes you bring. Do you really need 7 pairs of jeans, 6 skirts, and 4 pairs of shorts when you're only going for a week? Of course, bring more clothes than you need in case of weather changes, going out in the evenings, or just being plain clumsy and dropping food down yourself every time you eat like me. But you don't need your whole wardrobe.
3) Be realistic with the clothes you bring. I went to Spain, and I expected screaming hot weather and not a cloud in the sky. That was not the case. For the last 3 days, it rained and rained. I didn't have much else, so I was stood there in shorts in the pouring rain. It wasn't that bad because it wasn't cold, just wet. Bring some emergency clothes in case the weather suddenly decides it hates you.
4) Have your passport or boarding card or ticket or whatever you need ready. If you are at the front of a queue to have your passport checked, which you have been in for 15 minutes, and your passport is at the bottom of your bag, then people want to punch you. It is annoying, and when you're tired and you just want to go home its one of the worst things for someone to do. You don't have to have it in your hand, just an easily accessible pocket/compartment of your bag. 

That's all I can think of right now, if I think of anything else I will put it in a new post. I hope you found these little tips useful:)

So bye beautifuls, if any of you are doing an exchange or going on holiday soon have a wonderful amazing time and I love youu!!:)
