Respect - you're totally forgiven for that one ! One trip a year is definitely not enough.
Did the same after returning from May Bank Holiday trip (got home and couldn't bear the thought of not having another trip booked). Was supposed to travel out yesterday but mate and I both ended up binning our flights due to clients' unreasonable last-minute demands for our presence
... so beavering away trying to hawk out a window for a sneaky one that's less vulnerabe to hijack !!

I did 2 weeks in Ibiza spanking my card and thinking i "would worry about it when i got home" I didn't keep any reciepts, barely remember withdrawing most of the money and when i ran out of cash i just used my card for rounds. I was mashed and pissed almost non stop for the whole time and in the days of carry ons you could pretty much go for 3 days with only a couple of hours sleep on a sunlounger somewhere. The credit card bill was over 5 grand and that was when you could almost get 2 Euros to the pound
And did you work out the unwritten credit card in Ibiza rules without the aid of a debt counsellor, Trance Express ?Did 3 weeks in Ibiza spanked my cards to the tune of 8K, I paid for most nights before my trip and was all inclusive at my hotel thinking I wold save money when I was in Ibiza. That plan failed, I did arrive home feeling like I was run over by a herd of elephants for about a week. 3 weeks in Ibiza going hard is too much for the body and bank book, I loved every minute of it.
I've read this over and over again and I still don't know what it means.

I woke up on a nightbus on the moon and NASA asked me if wanted to an astronaut because I'm the first person to be able to breathe unaided up there, but I said no, I'm making sh1tloads in the drainage industry!

On my way home from DC10 some years back I thought it was a great idea to stop the cab at a telebanco at a closed mall and no people around. When I punched in the pin code I felt a strong urge to go and empty my bladder around the corner since it was too crazy back at the club In my mind I saw the card and money ready to be taken and continue into the night but the telebanco had eaten my card and my money...
So do as the op says and leave your cards at home!
But then again... The worst case of credit card vs telebanco I've seen in Ibiza was two italian guys in the middle of the day trying to take out cash at a telebanco somewhere in Figueretes. Sure, it looked like a telebanco with the sign and all and with a slot in the wall to take out your money but somehow the telebanco was gone on the other side of the wall. Despite that the italians inserted their card which just ended up inside the compartment where the telebanco should've been and it was impossible for them to get their card back

Alternatively, you may have made someone very happy that night ?

in itself ! They'd heard that to get a smaller swimsuit you had to pay in cash ?Thanks for this DrHierbas - spot on !

OK – here's a personal one from my own 'yesteryear' of hard lessons in life ….
After getting very mashed at a house party over a couple of days, woke up on board a flight in First Class
Turned out it was a flight from London to New York (?!!!) in March (@#&*#)..
I'd also apparently insisted on a smoking seat (those were the days eh ?!) and thrown a Naomi Campbell tantrum on the phone :x when I was told they were all already allocated.. had agreed to travel only on the strict proviso that they found me somewhere to smoke …
On arriving at the other end I had nothing with me except my passport and wallet, and was wearing a rather large (female) friend's leather jacket
.. nothing for it but to stay awhile and "sort my life out" before coming home and facing the music..
waiting for part # 3.....

!!im very much as above...bar the texting
have had many stories/seen loads of credit cards being severely hammered whilst on football trips...
a general rule of thumb...dont believe the friendly eastern european guy you've just met who says he knows a much better strippers/brothel down the road....usually ends up with the doors being locked, 2 big heavies, guns on the table and people having a whip round to get cash out to save your pals arse.
