I have now finished my exams and need to wait for results. Before that i am going to leave in a week or so for Europe with my girlfriend and some other friends who have decided to join us. I have always loved holidays. My parents were both really good, independently, at taking me on adventures and so i have grown a real love of travel. I just prefer not to have too much fixed in advance and like the ability to go with the flow. So my summer plans really suit me. We leave on a train to Paris and have NO fixed destinations or plans after that. We may all go in different directions. Anyone else have any plans or attitudes to holidays taht they wan tto share?

Sounds great connector. My kind of travelling. Kylie, i only ever went on one package holiday as it cost nothing to get to a lovely Greek Island that way - never saw the rest of the group - but had a great time discovering hidden bays with my lover at the time - driving a bike all over the place (started with push cycles and became motorised real quick).

Holidays - not sure if i am allowed one this year!

Holidays? Can't come soon enough really! Really hoping to switch off - if only for a few days of them this year, last year involved no downtime whatsoever.  My holiday of choice? All sorts - summer is a beach, activity, golf, mini adventures, nice food, good wine and children.  Winter is skiing, activity, walking, nice food, good wine and children.  Always think I would like to lie around doing nothing and reading a book - each time I do, i last about ten mins.... Roll on August.  Wx

School holidays are a bit of a pain in the bottom.  What to do with the children for weeks on end other than arrange playdates and summer activities. It serves only to keep an entire, highly cyclical industry in operation!

I don't do proper holidays - can't bear the thought.

I hate travelling - the wobbling about on a  train or a bus hurts my neck

I hate the suitcase/ bag carrying. 3 minutes of it and my back hurts

I hate sleeping in a strange bed with a strange pillow - can't sleep

I don't do airport s- too many people

Not had  a valid passport since 1982.

Last time I was  out of the country was 1974.

I don't like being in the sun

I've done  bits of UK bus rides and so forth - unbearable, generally.

if I won a luxury holiday I'd just give it away.
