Usually 3 weeks abroad, however if we go away in October like we're planning on we'll have been away 4weeks this year :D We usually go camping a few weekends not too far away from home too.

I mainly just have one but managed 2 last year. This year as I too have stopped smoking I am treating myself to 11 nights in Sharm el Sheikh on top of the fortnight in Turkey that I had a few weeks back. As I am a single traveller and like to use singles holiday companies my hols are never what could be described as a bargain so I think that's very good going for me!

Used to be just 2 weeks away in the summer but for the last couple of years have found we can also manage a cheap week away at Easter. We're off to Dom Rep next week, completing this year's holidays (were in Benidorm at Easter). Already booked next year's two. Agadir, in Morroco over Easter and Olu Deniz Turkey next August :)

We normally do a couple of days over New Year, in this country too - don't do weekends abroad.

What are we like? I think we'd all take as many as we could! This year we've had 2 weeks in March (Benidorm) just come back from 2 weeks (Costa Calida) and I've just booked 2 weeks in November (Benidorm). That's 6 weeks up to November, and we're hoping to get another before next March...... :cheers

Can't they stay at home CFC. I first left my sons when eldest was 18 and youngest was 15. They managed fine and I haven't looked back since. I did have a very good neighbour who they could turn to in an emergency, but thankfully she wasn't needed.
Oops, I just remembered, during a telephone call home that first holiday, youngest told me he'd scorched the carpet when he let the iron fall- it hadn't long been down either :( Fortunately, it was in a corner of the room and wasn't too noticeable.

well, we usually have 2 abroad holidays in europe, but this year we had a long haul in jamaica, so even though we had a week booked for august, hubby didn't want to fly again so we're off to edinburgh for 5 nights for the festival which will be fab !! mind you , could've gone to the med for what we spent on accomodation, but hey, ho, its differrent and our 8 yr old will love it too !!

I've kept a record of our hols from when we first went abroad in 1976! and so far have been away 52 times :D I don't count holidaying in this country because these days we just don't bother and I love the sun.

This year we have been to Gran Canaria, Benidorm, Torremolinos, and Lanzarote,
and in October we shall be going back to Benidorm.
I always try to find a good deal so I am able to spread the cost and this enables us to go away as many times as possible, having your children off your hands has many benefits. :yipee
