I'm driving everyone mad around me by talking about holidays.... please someone humor me

What do you look forward to most when going on holiday?

Having a take away the night before the holiday
Getting to the airport
Getting on the plane
Getting off the plane
Getting to the hotel

For me I look forward to getting to the airport and when the doors open on the plane and the heat of the Caribbean hits us

Re: What do you look forward to most?

The major pampering session in the days leading up to my holiday, (hair colour and cut, nails waxing etc)
Staying over the night before in an airport hotel
Going out for a nice meal in the hotel or somewhere close by.
Checking in at the airport, and finally feeling like I can relax for two weeks.
Frankie and bennies breakfast at the airport
Watching the planes take of and land,
Boarding the plane and take off, finally reaching our hotel, stepping out onto my balcony and taking in the sights, sounds and new smells.

If think I have summed it up

Oh only 15 weeks to go not that I'm counting :tup

Warm evenings are my big thing on holiday, not heat lovers but enjoy sitting in the shade looking at the sun with a cold beer is good but sitting outside in late evenings with another cold beer will make my holiday. :tup

Re: What do you look forward to most?

Oh yes

The mother and I are booked in for shellac and acrylic nails, eyebrow waxing and a deep conditioning hair treatment at the salon the day before we go

I do love a pre holiday pamper.

And oh boy do I love those evenings, although I like a warm nightcap, normally baileys and hot choc or a coffee and hazelnut liquor :cheers

The countdown is on! Come on time go quickly

The first full evening - being able to go out in a short sleeve shirt and (maybe) shorts; sitting on the terrace at 10pm (mossies allowing!) enjoying a glass of malt and a coffee -Heaven!!!

Re: What do you look forward to most?

To slightly digress, we had a bit of character retire from our firm a few years ago, to fly off into the Spanish sunset. A colleague met him some time later while on holiday there and asked him what he missed most about his old job, to which he replied in a flash: "My day off!"

Eating out on holiday. I love going for meals, steak dianne, beef stroganoff, even brekkie on a morning, sitting over looking the sea people watching. But when I'm people watching I always think 'oo why does she look so lovely and casual and I look like a sack tied in the middle' :rofl

Re: What do you look forward to most?

Having time off work and the daily grind of getting up at 04.30 is by far the best thing for me

So it doesnt really matter where we go as long as we can unwind and chill out

Re: What do you look forward to most?

I like everything

The take away the night before, or if we are travelling from an airport further away where we are staying overnight, then ,- a nice

meal somewhere close by.

The journey itself,- i actually quite like flying, having a read, then a doze, then a coffee drink etc. i love

stepping off the plane, and feeling the heat on my bones. Remember this very well when we went to Egypt.

I love the different smells and food, and love being able to wear lighter clothes.

I dont like coming home though, but cheer myself up by planning the next holiday.
:cheers

Mornings before the Hotel/resort wakes up. I'm naturally an early riser and love the early mornings abroad.

Last year in Lanzarote our little 22 month old lad decided he too would join dads early morning club so most mornings we would be out along the promenade before the sun came up. It was a great start to the day watching the local fishermen return with the days catch.

Watching the locals deliver stock to the bars and restaurants and knowing I have a whole day of doing pretty much nothing , its great.
