To wonder how people afford luxury holidays

[dontbesillyhenry]

Not once but several times sometimes yearly? We both work and earn relatively good money but can only afford to stretch to a few days in England. We don't have loads of luxurys either so it really baffles me what are we doing wrong?

5rivers I agree

My parents manage an astonishing amount of travelling on their modest pensions. But then they haven't got a car, only use local transport at hours when it's cheap for pensioners, wear clothes until they fall to pieces, never eat out or even buy themselves a drink but wait until they get home and can make a cup of tea, and I don't think my DM has had a haircut since my wedding 24 years ago.

Given a choice between replacing a flooding, breaking kitchen or a luxury holiday, I know which I'd choose. Normally we would have 2 or 3 decent holidays a year but this year it just isn't feasible
