As all I seem to have done over the past couple of weeks in my blog entries is moan and whinge about how many hours I’m working these days I feel it’s time for a holiday. A cheap one at that, since money’s an issue for both me and the boyfriend.

I’ve had a look on the internet and have come to the conclusion that Blackpool is the answer, it’s working out around £100 each for four nights including the hotel and bus tickets. That’s pretty damn good because there’s always something to do in Blackpool, the Pleasure Beach mainly. I love that wee theme park so much because there’s all the old, heritage rides along side rides like The Pepsi Max Big One (even though I’ve been too scared to ride it since I was like 14).

Hopefully I can get the time off work (shouldn’t be a problem, I think) and the boyfriend wants to go back. We were there two years ago with his mum and had a great time so hopefully he’ll agree.

I’m fed up reading about other blogger’s going on holiday or planning holidays, I’m so jealous! In the past few weeks I’ve read about Rhys’s American dream, Han going first class to Florida, Jenn & family hitting the beach, Starlet being attacked by evil seagulls in Wales, to name but a few. Lucky, lucky people - you really are. The last time I was on holiday was in 2003 and that was a weekend in Dublin with the boyfriend. Before that I think the last time I was abroad for a proper 2 weeks in the sun holiday was America when my little brother was 4 - he’s now 15!

There’s only one real place that I want to go in the whole entire world - Las Vegas, baby! I’m been fascinated by the glitz, glamour, lights and gambling of Las Vegas for a very long time which was made a hella lot more intense with by my obsession of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

It’s my dream to stay in either Circus Circus or the Luxor before I’m 30. The boyfriend agrees, he’d love to go to Vegas too. And I kind of have it on a promise that if we ever went to Vegas it’d be acceptable to get married - and that’s never, ever going to happen in Scotland!

As always, the problem with going to Vegas is the money. We’re both terrible at saving money even for nice things like holidays and things. Plus we’d need gambling money so we’d have to stay in one of the many other hotels in las vegas that aren’t as famous or expensive as the Stratosphere or the Four Queens hotel just to fund our fun!

Anybody else been to Vegas? Is it really as magical as it’s made out to be?
