Passing the time Until Içmeler. This Year Is Killing Me!!

[dj_sploits]

Hi all,

I've been going to Içmeler since 2006 and can't think of going anywhere else for my holidays. Usually as soon as I have booked I have my countdown setup on my calendar that hangs from my wall at work and each day I tick the days off.
I now have 39 days to go until I'm back in Paradise (the countdown started from 175 ) and each year I look forward to going but for some reason this year all I can think about is Içmeler. I talk constantly about Içmeler, I dream about Içmeler (had a crazy dream last night that involved Içmeler and boobs ). Even my girlfriend has noticed I'm a bit more excited this year than normal. I must log in to the new webcams 20 times a day and every morning I'm checking the photos that JT kindly uploads.
I just can't seem to find something that will occupy me until I go away.
What the hell is wrong with me????

My mobile doesn't help. It has a countdown on the homescreen



And thanks to the Ustream app I can log in to view the webcams whenever I want


I know I only have 39 days left but its driving me crazy. Doe's anybody out there have any tips to help the time go quicker or at least calm me down. If it was my first ever holiday I could understand but its going to be my 8th visit to Içmeler and I'm worse than ever lol. Just roll on the 9th July!!!

Well Im in the same boat as you M8.

First time on this forum and Im off to Icmeler in 8 days time and I'll be sat on the beach on day 9

Been to Marmaris 2 years ago now trying a new location plus me and the misses are staying at the Marti Resort Delux Hotel and that looks fantastic.

Regards and keep counting

Hi Brian,

You will love it. to me its completely different to Marmaris. Its not as commercialized (I always think of Marmaris as a Turkish Blackpool).
Never stopped at the Marti but heard many a good thing about it. Just make sure you sample some of the food in the restuarants dotted around Içmeler, you won't be disappointed

Have fun

I think that is great i have met my match my wife thinks i am mad as i am on the forum or looking at photos or just talking with friends in icmeler all i do is wind myself up only 3weeks till we go cant wait i should not moan as we have only been back 3 weeks hang in your holidays will soon be here

dj....... well....... your post really made me laugh as I thought I was mad, the way I go on and on about how many sleeps I have left until June 15th this year, then until the next one on July 31st and the next September 22nd. Yes, I love the place and maybe a little obsessed!!
I drive people mad with my facebook updates and constant ravings about how good Icmeler is and so on. Trouble is, I go on about how good it is, yet I don't want other people knowing about my little piece of paradise. Well, until now. I decided to open up and take friends with me on every holiday I've booked. So what initially was 3 seperate bookings which were going to be alone time, are now going to be fun filled weeks with my mates, different mates each time too.
The way I see it, I am opening up Icmeler to these friends who can then become as obsessed as me!!

Happy counting DJ and I am right there in the same mad boat

Its a bug that is caught once out there but its a bug I never want to lose.
I drive all my mates nuts on Facebook when I'm out there. I sign in to every bar I go into that has Wifi. A few years back I went on a mission to create as many sign in places for all the bars and restaurants (signing in places hadn't really taken off in Içmeler as there was only 3 places on the whole map haha).
People always comment on my sign ins telling me to get off facebook and enjoy my holiday. The thing is I AM enjoying my holiday and it takes about 20 seconds to login into Facebook and sign in somewhere. I take even more enjoyment knowing people are cursing me because I'm in paradise and they're stuck at home (usually in the rain ).

Haha your post also made me laugh, glad its not just me and in fact looks like quite a few people are in the same boat!! Think its just the weather (even tho we had a nice week) and the repetitveness of life here that makes us just focus on icmeler and only icmeler! Hurry 36 days to go

I wouldn't worry, I even bore myself sometimes Only 28 sleeeps for us but I can remember when it was 77 and it soesn't seem that long ago. Hoping the next 4 weeks flies in.
