AS a very small child my parents took me to Cornwall each year on holiday. Then, aged four, came the huge thrill of going abroad for the first time. We went to Ibiza and I was so excited that I was sick on the plane. My parents even held a party on the beach for my fifth birthday while we were there.
The island has so much more to offer than its infamous clubs, although I do quite like to party a bit while I�m there.

I would have loved to have camped overnight there but although Jordan has very hot summers the winters are cold and it was a bit nippy during my trip. I�m definitely going to return there with my father to camp when it�s warmer.
We also visited Jordan�s Dead Sea coast for some luxury and civilisation.

To say that travel last minute inexpensive airline tickets is in my blood is an understatement.
