We all start the year off with great intentions and as the year comes to an end we look back on all that we have or haven’t achieved….
Well I have completed much of what I had set out to do, and some things are still a work in progress. So here is how I did!
Overall grade: C+
This year I wanted to have some plans that could be achieved, here were my 5 resolutions!
1) This year I really wanted to push out the boundaries and go to places I’ve never been before my first trip will be to Mauritius a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean. I have also planned a 3 day stop over in the Dubai in the Middle East (making in my trip two holidays in one).
Results: So I loved Mauritius and would definitely like to go back and see more of Island. The people are friendly the weather is great and there is so much to do that I definitely want to go back. 3 Days in Dubai was the shortest amount of time I have spent there is was great to see a few friends but if I’m honest I will we had another day there, time went to quickly.
My second trip that I hadn’t planned by the new year was somewhere in Europe I had never been.
Results: Marseille, France. It was booked last-minute [The week before]. The weather was wonderful it was a little more expensive than I thought it would be but the exchange rate has really hurt the pound this year. I would go back but there is so much more of the south of France I would still like to see.
My third trip to Iceland.
Results: It didn’t happen 😦 but I have it planned for 2018 🙂
Grade: B+
2) My second resolution was to try new things like scuba-diving, indoor skydiving, zip lining and a water submersible / mini submarine.
Results: It didn’t happen, I had to get permission to scuba dive from my doctor, so that has slowed things down. Now I have got the go ahead so I will definitely be planning this for 2018 and the indoor skydiving is planned for February.
Grade: Failed
3) My third resolution is to be healthy this is something that always try to do but fail at miserably. This year I aimed to eat better and keep fit consistently and stay as well if possible. This will be my hardest challenge but I thought it was achievable.
Results: I started personal training once a week at the beginning of the year. I have definitely not achieved my goals, but I am fitter than I was and it is still a work in progress. My eating has been inconsistent, I eat better but I also fall of and eat junk too.
Grade: C
4) My fourth resolution is to be happy, doesn’t everybody wanna be happy? Not sure how this one will go but I plan to start and finish every day happy.
Results: I’m happy 🙂 but there are days when I am not.
Grade: B-
5) My fifth resolution for the year is to eat beautiful food and try new cuisines that I’ve never had before.
Results: I have tried Mauritian food and Grenadian food, not that adventurous, I must try harder.
Grade: C
Overall Grade
Ask your friends – If they have been to the destination before. When you have had a great meal when out-of-town or on holiday you tend to remember it.
2.Ask social media – Use your social networks. They have a wealth of knowledge so it’s always a great option.
