Today i have been off work as im not very well, for the most of the day i have been lying around feeling sorry for my self, but it has gave me a good oppurtunity to relax and just think about lots of things as for the first time in a long time its been the first time ive been on my own as every body else is at work.

Today i hve been thinking about being in ibiza and how much i cant wait to go bck agin in 2007(that is if i actually do). so i thought i would visit spotlight to bring back some memories. isnt it funny that once the year comes to and end and every body has visited the island for the year, the site goes quiet!!.

I first went to ibiza in 2002 and have loved going there every year since.

This year as always has been the best year yet for me and my girlfriend gem.i dont believe we will be able to beat this one ever.
We went out in july in a large group of very close mates, majority of us are couples with few single, but have all known each other now for years.

Any way the first day we got there, i remember dumping everything in the room at our hotel (the gran sol) and then running down to Kanya, where Kiss da funk opening party was taking place. i remeber waititng for ages to see the new kanya as there has been so much hype about it and now i finally got to see it.
so we were all siiting with our drinks sitting on the front just staring into the sunset thinking how lucky i was to be here. any way the night went on and we had a brilliant time.

i wont go into the full details of the holiday, im more than sure you can all imagine how it sort of went,and seeing as it was nearly 4 months a go i cant really remember how it all fal into place. All you need to know it was fantatic, some of my favourite highlights were Cream,(still cant get over how amazing that is), spending many lazy hours around Kanya and hiring quad bikes,(what an amazing way to go exploring the island) and the sun set strip, -savanhas being the main condenter this year.

As sad as it always is the last day came far too soon, and i was just not ready to go home. on the last day half an hour before having to get on the bus back to the airport i was sat with my gem on some rocks infront of kanya and coastline. talking about the holiday and how much we didnt want go home. and that thought stayed in my head.

anyway we got home and just as i thought the holiday blues started to sink in, all i kept thinking was how much i wanted to be back in ibiza, but i couldnt really go as i was in the process of getting a new job and didnt want to risk anything by booking a holiday, even if it was ibiza!!

After 2 weeks of being back in england, i still hadnt heard anything from any jobs i had applied for, and after being gutted since coming back so i thought sod it!!! and we booked to go out again but would have to wait untill september although when we decided to book again we wanted to go out in 2 weeks time time not 2 months, but at leastit gave me something to look forwrd to.

Any way in the time we hadto wait to go back out to ibiza i finally heard from the job that i really wanted and was offered the postition, which made me even more happy and the new boss was more than happy to let me have the time off to go to ibiza gain. so things were looking up for me and i also had something else planned which would be life changing.

lets skip forward to the important bit, being back in ibiza.

We landed quite late at night and was knackered by the time we got to the airport, got a taxi to the hotel and crashed out, we decided to start the holiday from the folowing day.

when we woke up it hit me we were back and feeling really excited again. it felt like we just carried on from last time, but all of our friends had gone home, it wsa weird coz we were stying in a hotel we stayed in from the previous year (hotel abrat) and not one thing changed in the whole 15 months we had last been there, even the staff were exactly the same people, in all the same places!

The first real night we were there was about to become mine and gems favourite night of the holiday if not our lifes up to that time being.
I had a plan for that night which i planned from the moment i knew we going back. i decided that if we going back on our own i would ask gem to marry me!

The night i had planned went brilliantly to plan, we started with having a few drinks on the sun set strip whilst watching the sunset which was amazing as always, it was completley clear and the atmosphere was amazing with all of the hundreds of people watching it with us. afterwards we went for a meal at Savanha's right on the front, next to the sea and at the same time Groove Amarda was playing , which was amazing to witness whilst eating a meal, by this time we already had a few drinks so was feeling rather confident and prepared to carry out the task. after finshing the meal we went for a walk to the other side of the strip and brought a couple of beers and went and sat in the dark on our own, rigt next to the see, the view was amazing just watching the sea crash up the rocks and watching all the people laughing and enjoying them selves at the cafes, music could be heard quite well from Cafe Mambo where Roger Sanchez was playing his thing.
after sitting for a while listening and talking, i decided to ask her the question!

AND SHE SAID YES!!!! well sort blubered yes through tears and snuffling.

this so far has been the highlight of my life and i will always rememeber this day for the rest of my life as clear as yesterday,

sorry to go all soppy but this to me was the main reason for coming back to ibiza for the second time this year, and it went just how i imagined it.

As for the rest of the holiday, it went brilliantly. we hired a quad bike again which was much better than last time, because this time we really went exploring, finding new parts of the island which were amazing and was more fun being on our own.

any way the holiday came to an end again, but this time i was ready to go home and didnt feel i like i wanted to stay again, think it was excitement of getting home to tell our freinds and familly of our news and also starting my new job.

2 months on and im missing it again, still very much happy with everything but its good in ibiza to escape and relax and i cant wait till next summer to return. This is why i thought it would be different and a good time to finally write my review of ibiza 2006

thanks for reading
so for being a bit soppy!!!

nice 8) my review is still sitting on my desktop awaiting publication, just trying to remember more :lol:

congratulations, so many spotlighters getting engaged out there this year!
 
Congratultions Mark, Just wonder when you did it in september since me and the missus got engaged on the fifth of the month. We are slated for the white isle in July 2007. It will be my return, and her virginity lost (iberican virginity that is).
 
it was september the 12th, congatulations to your self, ibiza in july has been gret forme the past 2 years, everything seems o be in swing and we always find good deals at this time of the summer.
 
to be fair im not married yet, one step at a time, i would say you get mixed groups, certain areas attract certain people, the reason we go is because we have been going for the last 4 years, normally in large mixed group and we love it, so we retuned on our own and thougt i woul be the right time to ask the question. i'm also returning this year at the strt of july, jut 10 lads this ime though, cannot wait!
 
Really nice story. fair play! Makes you wanna be there, right now. Especially when you say about the sunset strip and everyone enjoying there selves listening to some of the finest DJ's in the world watching the sun go down. Happy days.

I've got friends who are now married who still go, and still love it. I'm sure if I get married I'll still go to. As long as you've still got the love for the music all is good:D
 
Great story mate.

We are heading back to Ibiza in July on Honeymoon as we got engaged there 11 Years ago.
