An itinerary for all the tired and lonely travellers stuck in airports on their way home.

JOSEPHINE RYAN MURPHY

You’ve just made it through the first leg of your journey, disorientated and probably sad. You’re tired, your butt’s a little sweaty from all that sitting, your throat is unbearably dry and you brought way too much shit in your carry on. All you want is a bed and your mam and some chocolate and a good movie but instead, you’ve got to sit in this damn airport for another 10 hours. Unfortunately we’ve all been there so here’s a guide to help you get through it.

10 hours to go: Go get a coffee with the guy you met on your first flight.

9.5 hours to go: Ditch him before it’s too late. You do not want to spend 10 hours with this guy

9 hours to go: Sit in the glass box designed to make you hate yourself and chain smoke while thinking back on all the wonderful friends and places you’re leaving behind. It’s okay to cry. But quietly, there are other people in the glass box.

8.5 hours to go: Go for a wander, maybe there are some cool things in this bedless hell.

8 hours to go: Go to the airport hotel and stare in the window like the little matchbox girl. Consider seducing someone with enough money to have a nice comfy bed in there. Catch your reflection and realise it ain’t gonna happen.

7.5 hours to go: Eat an entire family pack of schoko-bons.

7 hours to go: Sit down somewhere and look through photos of you and your friends covered in body paint and sequins. Cry a little more.

6.5 hours to go: Try and find the coffee guy. Maybe he could give you a hug or pat your head or something. It might help. It’s worth a try right?

6 hours to go: Empty out your wallet. Look through your receipts and try to finally understand where all your money and condoms went.

5.5 hours to go: Buy a kinder egg. Eat it. Use the toy inside to make a stop motion film of your time in the airport so far.

5 hours to go:  Try and convince one of the people driving those cart things to let you ride around with them for a while.

4.5 hours to go: Get pissed in the airport bar. Close your eyes and pretend you’re still with all your friends drowning in wine. Have a crazy little giggle to yourself.

4 hours to go: Go to the duty free and use all the samples to make yourself look like your celebrity of choice, it’ll be fun now that you’re tipsy. We suggest ziggy stardust but it’s up to you.

3.5 hours to go: The makeup is less funny now that you’ve sobered up. Use more samples to wash it off.

3 hours to go: Give in. Find a good spot on the floor. Hold yourself because you’re on your own now. Try lying on your right side and go for a little nap. Dream of better times.

2.5 hours to go: Roll over to your left side.

2 hours to go: Go for another walk around, maybe you missed something good the first time.

1.5 hours to go: Find one of those conveyor-belts-for-people and do that thing where you walk backwards on it so you stay in the same spot.

1 hour to go: Find your gate and start walking. Do not miss that flight.

.5 hours to go: Weep with relief and then remember you now have another 10 hours to go except this time you’ll be strapped into a seat with no freedom to wander.

How to avoid public pooping and other advice on packing

Josephine Ryan Murphy

You’ve got your Stoke passport ready, you’re shaking with excitement, but before you can begin your adventure comes the dreaded packing of the bag. We’re here to help. Let’s avoid tearfully sitting on your suitcase in a futile attempt to zip it closed or arriving only to realise you’ve forgotten something vital. Take a deep breath, get yourself comfy on that suitcase and read our words of advice little Stokie.

YEP – Gasotrostop

The change of diet and weather can sometimes unfortunately lead to uncontrollable shitting. If you’ve got a nice comfy toilet and some free time then let it out, ride it through, hold your own hand because no one else will, you’ll be ok soon. However, if clashes with bus journeys or plane rides, you’re gonna want to delay the inevitable, no one likes shitting themselves in public places.

YEP – Disinfectant

You’ll trip at the bull run, you’ll slip at La Tomatina, you’ll get a tattoo that you totally shouldn’t regret because it’ll always be a good memory, but might if it gets horribly infected. Disinfectant will become your new moisturiser. Stick some in your pocket and keep it there.

YEP – Condoms

(Hopefully not the same ones you packed on your last trip.) Come on guys and gals, let’s have safe fun. Nothing ruins the mood like realising you can’t actually have sex and then just sitting beside each other awkwardly and nakedly twiddling your thumbs instead of each other.

YEP – A towel

Sometimes you get lucky and your hostel will offer them up for free but a lot of the time they won’t. You’ll end up standing awkwardly in the shower cubicle waiting to drip dry. Best case scenario, you’ll be fortunate enough to find some toilet paper nearby to speed up the drying process. It also doubles up pretty well as a pillow or a blanket during long stop overs in the airport or waiting for buses.

YEP – Suncream

Seems obvious and yet there’s always bound to be that one group of lads wearing what looks like a white t-shirt but is in fact the only part of their upper body not red and blistering and radiation regretful heat. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll even see the white mark of their sunglasses across that lovely lobster face. And purposely burning in the hopes that it will turn to tan is dumb. You’ll look like some kind of skin shedding monster.

NOPE – The majority of your clothes

You will wear the top layer of your suitcase, tossing it back at the end of the day and pulling it back on the next. Suitcases are annoying and somehow everything disappears in that fairly small rectangle. You’re not going to dig through it all for something different every morning, blurry eyed and pounding head. You’re just not. Pack for a week max and leave the rest.

NOPE – Airplane pillow

They are not comfortable. They don’t even really make sense. They just sort of prop your droopy head in an awkward position and maybe keep your neck warm. They’re also so bulky at the back that you can’t even sit properly, they force your head forward and you ultimately end up sleeping with your chin flopped onto your chest in the perfect position for your friends to take pictures of your double chin.

NOPE – A sewing set

Have you ever actually sewed anything ever? If the answer is no then lets not pretend you’re going to find the time during your alcohol fuelled Oktoberfest fun to learn. Leave the needle and thread behind.

NOPE – Phrasebooks

The internet has everything now. Download a translate app. Flicking, flustered through pages of a tiny book desperately trying to ask where the toilet is because you forgot to pack your gastrostop, is not a situation you want to find yourself in.

NOPE – Anything you hold dear

You’ll be lolloping happily around, blissfully unaware of anything that’s not immediately in front of you. Explaining to your grandmother that you accidentally left the ring she passed down to you in a ‘friends’ house should be avoided.

NOPE – Tonnes of camera equipment

Maybe this is your thing and if so, go for it, you’ll have countless opportunities to take amazing photos. But if not, it’ll all just sit in your bag the entire time, weighing it down and making you depressed that you’re not more creative. Now is not the time for such worries, chill out, use your phone.

This year Stoke Travel is launching Glamping, which is camping but totally like so glamorous, babes. There’s nothing wrong with our camps — they’re fine, they’re fantastic — but we’ve found that sometimes Stoke Travellers have a little spare change rattling around in their pockets and they want to spend it on some creature comforts. If there’s one thing that Stoke Travel does well it’s attract creatures to our camps and now we’re going to make you even comfortable. Giddy UP!

1. More comfortable bedding when Glamping at Pamplona

The Running Of The Bulls is taxing on the body. The run itself is a test of athleticism and mental stability, and the days after it are long boozy danceathons in busy Spanish streets. You’re tired, both physically and emotionally and you’re one day into a three-day trip. You want to rest your weary bones before you again offer them up to the half-tonne horned running machines that make this party infamous. Stoke’s air mattresses are comfortable, and the sleeping bags most definitely do the job, but the raised glamping beds with their fitted sheets and pillows are on another level and will really aid the post-bull-run/pre-bull-run recovery process, making you less likely to be steamrolled by beasts the next time you don the whites and take to the streets.

2. Glamping in Munich is warmer than not Glamping

Oktoberfest actually mostly takes part in September, as the Germans knew that sliding the festival forward from its originally later date would take advantage of the warmer weather. That said, Munich is a tempestuous mistress at this time of the year, and there’s always a day when the temperature shifts from too-hot to bloody-cold. Now this doesn’t really matter at the time, as we’re generally full to the top with Bavarian beer and that takes your mind off the chill, but Oktoberfest is at the end of the summer, and you’re exhausted and have probably earned a sleep in, and we all know that sleep ins are easier when you’re snug and warm, and so in addition to the aforementioned comfortable bedding, our Oktoberfest Glamping also comes with an electric heater to really bring your tent’s temperature up to a reasonable level.

3. It’s cooler Glamping at La Tomatina

It’s 2pm and it’s already been a long day of dodging tomatoes and making out with sexy Spaniards. Your belly is full of tomato-juice shrapnel and sangria, and you’ve got a big night ahead of you at the official La Tomatina after party. It’s time for a siesta, but by jove it’s too fucking hot. It’s Valencia, by the end of summer, and it’s warm. Your fellow Stokies are laying around on the grass, under trees, for while their tents are lovely and cool by night, the middle of the day resembles a pottery kiln in the middle of the Sahara. The Glamping, however, comes with an electric fan, and so you retreat back to your palace and let the artificial breeze run over your red-stained body.

4. Surf camp Glamping gives you more space

Crawling in and out of a tent is par for the surf camping course, but when it comes to getting decked out in your wetsuit, the low ceilings might cramp your style and every other part of your body. Glamping allows all but the very tall to pretty much stand up, meaning that you don’t need to contort into all kinds of shapes just to get your rubber on. There’s also a mirror inside so you can see just how you’d look as a superhero before you go and make a complete dork of yourself getting each and every orifice filled with sand and seawater.

5. And that works just fine for hook ups

All of it, together, will help your pick-up game. The mirror and the space to change like a French duke, the warmth or coolness you can offer any temporary roommates, the comfort of the beds, the aesthetic appeal of Glamping with all the fairy lights and the status that comes with having a Stoke Travel butler at your beck and call 24-hours a day. The electricity with which you can charge your phone, and the WiFi you can use to get on Tinder. Basically, if you can’t hook up while Glamping, either with someone you’ve known for a long time, or a complete stranger, then maybe you’ve got to rethink how you hook up. Just saying.

Like we said, there’s nothing wrong with Stoke Travel’s general camping options — in fact we’re by far the best in the business for both inclusions and price — but sometimes you want to spoil yourself and not miss out on the fun of the Stoke Travel camp experience, and for that Glamping is your best option. Why don’t you go over here and check out prices, etc, and get yourself one of Stoke Travel’s more glamorous camping experiences.
