The title sums my life up perfectly at the moment - I am both ill and in Plymouth. I had virtually no sleep last night and the bed was awful. Breakfast was on the top floor of the hotel and that made me feel ill as well. Great.
Having said all of that, I *am* glad to be somewhere other than my own house for once and almost looking forward to getting on the ferry and being able to walk around...plus I'm hoping the sea air will be refreshing and not make me feel ill (unlike the air conditioning here in the hotel...eurgh).
This is it for now, I might be able to blog from France, I might not. If not, have a fabulous week and I'll see you next Saturday :)

Plymouth
I have 16 minutes of internet left to use tonight and then 30 in the morning. It cost me £5 which is a complete rip off, but considering I've been sitting in the back of my dad's car for 7.5 hours straight feeling faint for at least 3/4 of it, I'd do anything to take my mind off being ill.
One thing that I kind of both love and hate about long journeys is that I end up thinking for most of them...which for me isn't good because I think too much anyway. At the moment I'm just sad at my lack of a social life and lack of people wanting to spend time with me (blah, blah, blah, I know, you've heard it all before) - it's a ridiculous problem to have because it's hard to fix - I can't just abandon my friends but, on the other hand, I'm fed up of being the one that has to organise everything when most other people have no enthusiasm for doing things at all. I messaged Jess about our little Poland group meeting up earlier but I'm on holiday now and then she goes away so none of us can do much until we're all back from our holidays. Grrr.
I'm also bitterly disappointed at the lack of foreign TV channels here at the hotel (Holiday Inn Plymouth) - they have them in London so why not here? They're way more interesting than British TV because part of the fun is trying to guess what it's about ;)
I'm now down to 10 minutes. So, holiday plans:
- We sail at about 3pm tomorrow afternoon and should be at our holiday home in Perros-Guirec for about 10pm local time (so 9pm here in the UK). We have a random list of restaurants and supermarkets in and around Perros-Guirec and I made a note of the bead shop address in Dinan. As far as holiday plans go, that's it.
Going to go now because I only have about 7 minutes left :(

Au revoir for now
So, in about two hours I'm setting off for Plymouth - we're staying there overnight before getting the ferry to St Malo (France) tomorrow and we're going to be staying in Perros-Guirec for a week.
I'm not entirely sure I can be bothered with this holiday. This is the third time in July alone that I've condensed my life into a suitcase/bag, only this time I'm going to be spending a week with the same three people that I spent every single day with. My mum is currently unbearable/I'm avoiding her at all costs because she seems to have the attitude of a holiday equalling the same as moving house or something else major happening.
I'm hoping that somewhere in the area will have wi-fi, but if not I might have to resort to blogging from my phone (and if you've seen the state of my phone, you'll know that's a pretty big commitment) because I know I'll end up going insane if I end up completely cut off from the world outside my immediate family.
I'm also not a fan of ferry travel - it just seems so stupid travelling for five hours on a ferry when you could be there within two on a plane. My dad's 'fear' of flying means our holidays are generally terrible - I think our worst has to be Wales 2009 where within about two days we'd decided we'd have to book another holiday to make up for how terrible it was.
I *might* keep a video diary whilst I'm there. Well, I might film my brother telling you all where we are at certain times. I'm hoping the ferry (or a service station somewhere) might sell a Spanish newspaper or something - it did last time but that was a long time ago.
So, I'll be back at some point within a week, maybe even tonight if the hotel has wi-fi. Have a fabulous week guys :)
