I know that feeling Willow. We used to go on holiday every year to northern ireland. Now with the surname ive got especially where we went everybody knew us but still had few hair curling experiences over there. One we were stopped by the army going back to the hotel at 11pm - told to go back to where we came from so dad knowing the back roads went the back roads - we got stopped again - i was told to keep my mouth shut from my dad, and we got let through and on our way and dad put his foot down which made me nervous seeing as it was 11.15 dark and the roads were a bit dark, rough and narrow and curly. We got out of sight of the people who had stopped us and dad said i could speak again. I said why did you tell me to shut up he said that was the IRA who had stopped us the second time! Another time i got dragged off in the airport into a little room and searched and my suitcase searched all because of the wedding present in it. Had fun going over the border though having guns being pointed at your head in daylight because of the driver i could have killed him!!!
