Going on holiday is always a treat and when you travel you like to feel special. My last
trip abroad was one of disappointment as the conditions were far from perfect.

When I was booking the holiday I chose the 1………………………… hotel on the
island. I wanted the 2………………………… room and all the extras which come with
that. For my first night I had booked the 3………………………… massage possible,
two hours, and then a meal for two at the 4………………………… restaurant in the
area. I had dreamed about a holiday like this for a long time and my expectations were
great and the price was the 5………………………… I had ever paid for a weekend
away.

Unfortunately things did not go as planned. As the plane was delayed when I arrived at
the hotel our room had been given to another couple. The masseuse was not there either
as the 6………………………… she worked was 9pm. When we went to our room we
decided to shower away the stress. It was the 7………………………… bathroom I had
seen in a long time. I stopped to complain on the way to the restaurant and I was told
not to be so critical by the 8………………………… manager you could imagine.
Dinner at the restaurant was very nice though and I was just starting to relax when the
waiter spilt wine on my 9………………………… dress. That night was the
10………………………… night sleep of my life; there was a nightclub below our
room and it did not close until 5am. We did not wait for breakfast. As soon as the sun
was up we went straight to the airport and flew home.
