I used to think it was a doddle booking a holiday but when you have a wife who has become paranoid regarding most things related to travel, your holiday choices become somewhat limited! Europe, in particular, soon becomes a virtual no go zone, as you will see!!
Suggestion - How about trying Turkey for the first time, love?
Response - Oh no, not with all those earthquakes.
Suggestion - How about Greece and a trip to Athens for some culture?
Response - What and fight through all those riots, you must be kidding.
Suggestion - I have heard Cape Verde is becoming popular. Shall we give that a go?
Where's that?
Off the coast of South Africa.
No, never fancied South Africa. Might get kidnapped by those pirates!!
Suggestion - What about a Mediterranean cruise? (Pause followed by expletives). No dear, i was not joking!!
After that sort of an exchange, you feel inclined to forget your passport, throw a case in the boot and drive down to the tranquility of Cornwall. But whatever you do, if you see my wife, please dont tell her there have been sightings of sharks off the coast. At the moment, she thinks they are confined to Mauritius!!!
