Holidays over rated

[madcatladyforever]

Anyone else never really feel like going on holiday.
never fails to amaze me how people spend £10k on a luxury holiday - all that money on 2 weeks that is so soon over.
Antiques roadshow this woman sold a beautiful painting for loads then said she was going to sell it to go on a poxy cruise!!
Two days into a holiday and I want to come home, I hate them.
I can cope with a week camping somewhere but a three week cruise or tropical island no thanks.
My thoughts may be coloured by the fact my parents travelled all over the world with us and we were never in school or our own home for more than 6 months.
Now I love my home and cannot imagine queuing at airports, being shoved onto buses or sitting on an over crowded beach.
I suppose it helps living in the west country in a lovely spot but annual holidays - no thanks.

Lol just because you love a holiday doesn't mean you don't enjoy the rest of the time!
There will be other things to look forward to as well the rest of the year

Where in yorkshire are you heading

@Dowser to the east of the Dales near Bedale. Can't wait!

I love holidays and we spend horrific amounts on them.
But we earn loads so why not?

Holidays are a very personal thing.

I love travelling independently to new, interesting places where I can see, experience and do cool stuff. Arriving at an airport in a foreign country, picking up a hire car and heading off to explore it is one of my favourite things in the world.

Lying on a beach or beside a pool all day definitely isn’t for me. Nor is spending a fortnight in a floating hotel with thousands of other tourists being told what to wear, where to sit for dinner and who to sit next to before being bussed around like school children.

But a week camping somewhere is still a holiday. I hate this perception that it's only a "proper holiday" if it's in a luxury location, or somewhere with hot weather. I usually go on holiday in the UK, to all sorts of places in the countryside, market towns, cathedral cities, islands, small places with silly events going on. I've gone on multi-day walks in the UK where I carried everything in my backpack. These are "real holidays" if there is such a thing.

Yep, totally agree. One of my favourite places to holiday is the west country! I go every year! I have been to other countries too and loved lots of them, but I really love some of the coastal walks and beaches of the UK. I do like lying in the sun but a week or two of that is not my ideal holiday.
