Do you remember your Ibiza firsts??

1999 I think or 2000

Stayed in Calla Llonga - Montemar Apartments - right at the top of a friggin hill!! I was never so fit in my life as I was at the end of that fortnight - first week it was touch and go as to whether I would make it past day 3 due to that bloody climb!! Also I was severely dehydrated and ill after having suffered with food poisoning at home for a week - discharged myself from hospital for the holiday - the best bikini diet ever - lost 1 stone in a week, looked great, couldnt walk but.....

First bar: Cairo in Calla Llonga - excellent bar, all the bar staff were great, really friendly and very colourful tranvestites, lush atmosphere - no more than 7 people in on both times we went - total waste but so obviously set up in the wrong resort on the Island.
First Club: Perfecto at Pacha with the Oakie
First Sunset: Cafe Del Mar
First Meal: Some crap pizza place in Calla Llonga where Mr PL got severe food poisoning. (or was it from me?)
First Beach: Calla Llonga (where we both spent most of the day lying digging holes in the sand and pukking from said food poisoning)
First drink: Rehydration powders from the hospital
First Alc drink: 4 days later - Vodka Limon
Best day trip: North of the Island - amazing scenery!!
 
My first time was September 2004. I don't know why I didn't go there before... Ah, now I remember - I was busy being boring!

I was there for two weeks and on my first night I had my first drink before I even unpacked.

first drink - vodka w/ orange juice at Manoa (for free)
first club - Amnesia (Armada Closing Party) for free
first DJ - Armin van Buuren
best meal - El Ayoun
best club - Space

But the best thing was my clubbing marathon, which included:

Armada Closing, In Bed with Space, La Troya, Yoshitoshi (Deep Dish) Closing, Dance 4 Trance Closing, WLS (Groove Armada), Gorgeous (Amnesia), Carl Cox Closing, Subliminal (Pacha), La troya (again), La Troya after party at Space, Defected (very good music) Closing, People from Ibiza Closing, WLS again, Manumission Closing.

I remember my last day: I was supposed to take a plane Ibiza-Madrid at 13:15 on a Tuesday, then take a flight from Madrid to Paris and then take another flight from Paris to Rio.

So I decided it would be very wise if I didn't sleep at all so I could get some sleep in the flights. I wasn't going to sleep from Monday to Tuesday, I was going to the Manumission closing party, leave around 9 a.m., check in at the airport, go to Manumission after party at Space, and leave around 12:40 to the airport. Great plans!

Got guestlisted for Manumission (great deal for the end of my season, as I was almost broke), got there at around 4 a.m. I stayed most of the time in the Coco Loco room. Around 8 a.m. I wanted to leave, but my friend (and Guardian Angel) thought that maybe I wasn't in a good shape to go anywhere, since I'd had 4 pills and a lot of K the whole night (I was feeling super, high as a kite). So I started complaining "why don't you wanna go to Space?" It was easy to convince me that the Coco Loco room was a better choise. We left at about 10 p.m., went home with 10 of our closest friends (all of them we met in Ibiza).

I thought it would be a great deal if I missed the plane and stayed in the island to properly enjoy an after party. My friend started crying because she thought I was going to miss the plane, I thought she was crying because she was going to miss me and said: "Don't worry, baby, I'm not leaving anymore!" She said "you're leaving now. take your bags, we're going to the airport to check you in".

So we went to the airport and then back home. There were even more people when we got back to her apartment and I thanked them all for bringing the after party to me, since it looked like I wasn't going to make it to Manumission Carry On after all. Under protest, I was forced in the car at about 12:50 and got on the plane at 13:13.

The plane from Paris to Rio had a problem on the engine, so my flight was 20 hours delayed. I didn't sleep until Thursday...
 
'97 aswell.
First Hotel: Florida (San An)
First Meal: Breakfast at the hotel (though I only managed one mouthfull of croissant, but the coffee was heaven).
First Club: Es Paradis- Clockwork Orange (was a belting night if I remember correctly)
First Sunset: Cafe del Mar
First Drink: Koppas (or might've been Trops)

Cheers, McKrackin.

If I look closely enough, I can probably see myself slumped under a bush by the side of the club!

They used to have cane swinging seats hanging from the beams, which were great fun after the 10th Vodka Limon.

I also used to go in a club in a basement, on the left as you walk up the main bar street in the West End. In 83 it was playing the best music - Joy Division, Heaven 17, Bauhaus, Cramps... Can't for the life of me remember what it was called?????????

Apparently, my better half tells me it was called "NITOS".

Not sure what it is now.

Oh, and the version of Elvis Presley's "Fever" by the Cramps is the best record ever!!!!!!
 
I first went in August 2000 :D

First Hotel: I think it was called Hostal Tarba?? in San An. I remember it being on a busy main road, with lorries driving past every day. The rooms were small, cramped, hot, no fridge, flies everywhere. It was a nightmare! And we paid £600 for two weeks, what a rip-off :evil:

First Meal: Probably in Hostal Tarba's in house restuarant! (Whcih, again, was shit)

First Club: I think it was Judgement Sundays at Eden (back in my hard house days :twisted: )

First Sunset: The Radio One weekend outside Mambo's 8)

First Drink: I think this was in Coastline (when it was just one huge bar, not two different ones). I remember we were walking around, totally lost, trying to find where all the "happening" places were! We finally found Coastline and spent a lot of our holiday there, cool bar 8)
