Once again i feel the need to take a vacation, and once again i have left it a little too late.

I am not too worried about that, as, thank the lord, I hate crowds, so taking a late vacation is fine with me,.

This year i have decided to go to portugal, as i love the place, and it is cheap to get there..

Situated on the corner of the mediterranean, portugal has always been one of my favourite holiday destinations, the portuguese are really nice people, but not as excitable as other latin types. The food and wine in portugal is a great experience, and very well priced which suits me fine.

So, Portugal, or rather the Algarve, it is.

Taking a look at the thousands of 'villa rental' sites on the web, I came across one vacation villa site that offered villas in the algarve that seemed better than the others. - villaretreats.com. They don't just provide the standard villa booking service, but a few usps that made them stand out from the crowd. They offer a unbeatable price match offer, a promise that they have checked them all in person, a one-stop-shop booking service that will get your flight and car rental booked at the same time, 24 hour support number and the ability to arrange drivers, babysitters, cooks etc

Being a poor sort of chap, i can't afford all of these but the fact that they are on offer was a deal breaker for me.

I still have to choose the resort though, Quinta do lago, Vale do garrao, Santa barbara de nexe and Portimao all have their good points, i suspect that 'she who must be obeyed' will decide that one.

Algarve here I come!

This mornings blood glucose score is only 8.4. I arose just b4 10.3am which probably had some kind of effect on the blood glucose results. This morning is a bit miserable but I am feeling mentally a little slow. I seem to have low physical energy. The previous night I retired at 12.3am, and had a meal of sausages and beans.

This mornings blood glucose test is just 4.5. I got out of bed by 8.45am which probably had an effect on the blood sugar results. The day is a bit miserable but I feel mentally a bit dim. I have very high physical energy. The previous night I hit the sack at 12.45am, and enjoyed a last meal of cheese on toast.
