Hello, my name is Rebecca and I have decided to share my story with you as a warning to others about how well we truly know someone. My husband, Jonathon, is 49 years of age and we have been married for just over 23 years. Although there was nothing particularly remarkable about our life together I would not have hesitated in saying that we had always been h...
My current assignment in Den Haag was nearing completion, time to look for a new assignment; first, I would take a few weeks off. Where would I go, what would I do when I got there. Being a solo traveller has its restrictions. Checking out options on the web, I came across someone looking to share a cabin on a cruise ship. I sent him an email saying, I was p...
The year that I turned 18 was a busy one for me. I had just taken my A level exams at college, and was waiting to see if the results would allow me to go to the university of my choice. I had a long hot summer to wait, and spent the summer living in a holiday chalet that my parents owned on the Norfolk coast. I spent every sunny day on the beach, and in the...
Chapter 3 The Holiday: Part 1 I was awoken by John who burst into the bedroom noisily. I sat up with a start, disorientated, blinking in the light as John threw open the curtains allowing in the morning sun. "Come on sexy. Rise and shine.............Oh! I see part of you has already risen," he said with a wicked smile. I followed his gaze and with a pang...
This was my first time on a solo holiday; I joined a large 65ft charter yacht that was berthed in a marina in Plymouth, for a two week holiday sailing to France and back via the Isles of Scilly. This holiday had an unusual ending; I think. On arrival in Plymouth I met the skipper of the yacht; he looked the typical Captain Birds Eye character, complete wit...
The next couple of days went over pretty much the same with the old Dave back on form whilst out with the guys, then dominating me when we got back to the privacy of our room. It was great to see him so relaxed and having fun again, even Paul and Eddie noticed the difference. It felt great inside knowing that it was me that got my best friend out of his funk...
It had been over a year since their last holiday, work commitments putting pay to any of their plans. Then Nicola's workmate explained she had a family caravan in Scotland, and a short break seemed more than possible. Peter and Nicola had been together since university and moved in together soon after. Since graduating and finding employment, they had foun...
"Welcome home," said Kevin as Nathan pulled the car into the driveway of his home. "It feels like I've been away longer than a week," said Nathan. Nathan opened the door and let Kevin into the house. "Welcome back, how was the holiday?" said Jeff calling out from the living room. "Oh yeah, I told Jeff we went away for a week holiday. Just play along. Or...
I walked up the country road beside my friend Danny. Dressed in shorts and t-shirts and carrying a large rucksack each, we talked and told jokes as we made our way to the small village that would be our home for the next week. Originally there were going to be a few of us on this little holiday in the countryside. But, as often happens, one by one people dr...
I'm spent and covered in spunk in the afternoon shade. This is not my norm. This is so very far away from my norm I may need to book a flight just to get back to it. This was the very last thing I had expected when my friends, Carlo and Jay had invited me over to swim in their pool and celebrate some holiday. When I asked about the holiday, they were vague....
