I figured that the first 'Blogger's Guide' I did went down quite well as I had some good feedback and the viewing ratings were rather impressive. So, for your reading pleasure, I think I will start doing a weekly 'Blogger's Guide To...'.
Last week I had to venture up to Birmingham on a training course for work. This meant that I had to endure a two hour train journey and on overnight stay all by myself! Now anybody that knows me, will know that me sleeping by myself is dangerous when I have to be up for a specific time. I am a self confessed 'snoozer'!
So this was going to be quite a challenge for me!
A Blogger's Guide To Travelling Solo!!
1. Wear comfortable clothing. Now this goes for train journeys, car journeys, even plane journeys! There is nothing worse than constantly fidgeting around trying to get that 'comfy spot'. Let's face it, if we could board the train/bus/plane in pyjamas and a dressing gown...we probably would! Now I wasn't fortunate in being able to choose my travelling clothes as I had to be sporting my uniform. However, given the chance, I would have worn yoga pants and a loose fitting t-shirt. In no way stylish, but i'd have been the comfiest traveller going!
2. Always carry headphones. Guaranteed that as soon as your board your mode of transport, you will find the 'quiet' zone. This is the area on the vehicle where everyone keeps to themselves, reads quietly or are even just sleeping. Until... you get to the very next stops where four loud mouthed beings decide to come and ruin the tranquillity of the 'quiet' zone! This means it's headphones at the ready because you are going to want to drown out the noise of insufferable conversation that these people are shouting across a whole carriage. Here's a solution loud people, sit closer together maybe? That might help! Or not, whatever you fancy!
3. Always carry bubble bath. There is nothing worse than arriving at a fancy hotel and seeing thay have the most amazing bath you have ever seen in your life, & you haven't brought any bubble bath! Here is the situation. You NEED to use this bath, but you most certainly cannot have a bath in just plain water. What do you do?
4. Don't ignore the wake-up call service. If like myself you are a heavy sleeper, grab the opportunity with both hands!! Let's face it, if I refused this service I would be face down in fluffy pillows until housekeeping came!! At the end of the day, it's free and will save you from great embarrassment.
5. (This one is for the ladies) Take pamper products! When you're in a hotel room for a whole night, bored out of your brains, what better thing to do than to catch up on some pampering. After you have had your lovely bubble bath, slap on a face mask, ex-foliate those legs and kick back with a glass of wine! If it has been a particularly bad day, a bottle of wine may be required.
6. Finally I recommend taking a spare pair of undies. Just in case your flight, train, bus etc is delayed or there is any problems during your stay!
7. Oh and chocolate. Always!
I hope these hints and tips help all you lovely readers. Here is a little snap on my last solo travelling experience! Yes, I went for bath, bubbles and chocolate!
Love you all and leave you!
Another bloggers guide will follow shortly!
