I won’t post it in a blog. I’d look like a spoilt twat of a child (even more than I do now). I’ve been lucky enough to visit 6% of the places listed!

Planes aren’t scary, you shouldn’t be nervous of the flight. Flights are boring, I am thankful for the times we get turbulence. Mixes it up and makes it a little more interesting. Plus I love hearing 300 people go “Woohhh!” all at the same time. But It’s the airport security you have to fear… Let me know if you do the same thing; but even though I’ve got nothing on me; I can’t look them in the eye and I keep my head down and my heart starts pumping every time I have to go through them.

I hadn’t heard of Lisbon before, but it looks pretty fine and dandy. Hope you have an awesome time!

I know where it is and that Christiano Ronaldo is from there. That’s about it…

Remember, every one in the world speaks English but some of them don’t know it yet.

The typical solution to this is to repeat what you asked for in a steadily louder voice, again and again.

If that fails, add “eee oooo” after each word. For instance, “Twoooeeeoooo beerioo por favor”

Do what every Brit does abroad.To order, shout “Two beers please” in a silly foreign accent.

Flying is fine..it’s the waiting in airports that’s the frightening bit

LOL they all speak english in portugal, its so touristy! theres “english pubs” everywhere!

My first flight was when I was a few months old, guernsey to england then a few months on, England - singapore (14 hours!) a 4 hour flight to portugal will be a piece of piss! but not nearly as entertaining as long haul, short hauls worse! much worse! Full of screaming children!

You have to be vicious at passport control once you get off the plane!

@celeste - My dads in egypt atm - HUGE sandstorm atm but unlike china its not dried excrement in the air :S

My first flight was 9 sleepless hours to New York which was not fun. They played the worst films too like haunted mansion with Eddie Murphy… it was like torture

It’s a good first time abroad!

I love flying. I’m a bit shakey on take off but once I’m up there I’m fine.

I am sooooooooo excited about going to Egypt in 2 months!

Plus the fact that I need to buy new bikinis as my ones from last year are too big! Wooooo!

Congrats on the holiday! That is pretty exciting.
I think the portugese for beer please is something like cerveja por favor as it’s a very similar language to Spanish.
Flying is dead easy once you have the boring check in stuff done, just lots of waiting around usually but there are lots of arcades to pass the time
