To ask, what the longest length of time you have been away on a holiday?

[NextToTheRadio]

I'm going away soon for 14 days. I've never been away for this length of time before. It's usually been between 2 and 10 days.

What's the longest time you have been on holiday for ?

I go away each summer for 12 days

23 days to Alaska

Oh wow! That's on my bucket list!

Did you enjoy it? What did you see/do?

Gap year was my longest “holiday” in my 20s

but last autumn I was away on holiday for 5 weeks traveling through France, Spain & Portugal it was lovely

We are tentatively planning a huge trip for an unspecified time in the future when dp can retire and I quit work (I'm younger and would get another job on our return) 6 months or so over landing by motorcycle to Australia. Also really need some wars to be sorted before we can start

2 weeks to Orlando. Having two weeks this summer in Greece. Feels like a massive luxury. Would love to spend a full summer somewhere

2 weeks. Personally that's long enough for a holiday for me, and now we have kids, 10 days is enough. After that we are ready for home and routine again, as they don't eat/sleep as well away from home. Travelling/gap year is different to me, as you are living there and likely either working or moving around.

We did a driving holiday in the USA a few years ago. 5 weeks. Was absolutely brilliant!

We often go away for 3 weeks in the summer - usually Spain or Greece.

4 weeks in Australia and the South Pacific, a couple of times. And I used to have 3 weeks in Spain in the summer. Now the longest is 14 days.

Ten months, to North, Central and South America, then two years later, a year, to S America and SE Asia. Amazing.

6 months backpacking in my mid twenties

21 nights - Goa 1999.

10 months backpacking in my early 20's.

6 weeks to Australia.
3 months on a sort of holiday to the States to sample his lifestyle over there and generally see if we could settle down together. (We did, in the UK).

@Emptycrackedcup Working holiday, hell no. I worked crazy hours for twelve months previous to my trip to pay for it. My budget was 100 dollars a week, which in SE Asia (excluding Singapore) was a lot. This was thirty years ago, when internet cafés were a thing.

2 weeks to the States.

Yeah I said 3 months as that was a holiday holiday, but 18 months for a working one back in internet cafe days also

4 months gap year (coming home for a few days in the middle to change countries)

4/6 weeks normal holiday - regularly spent the summers with our grandparents in Italy

Two weeks, we often do cruise and stay it stay and cruise holidays and they are great as feel like two separated holidays. If I do two weeks in one place (extremely rare) I don’t enjoy day 11-13 as much as the days in the first week.

Three weeks on a coach tour of Europe with my friend and three weeks with my mum, dad and brother travelling around California, Las Vegas and Hawaii after my A Levels (and brother's GCSEs).

7 days and that was 22 yrs ago

i dont like being away TBH.

In my early 20s I went to North America for 6 weeks, visiting various friends and family members. Then we had a one or two 2week UK self catering with my parents when the children were small (before they started school).
For the last five years I haven't been away for more than two or three nights at a time due to caring for an elderly family member who eventually died last autumn. This summer I am hoping to take a full fortnight+ somewhere - which feels total luxury and by god, we need it.

4 weeks travelling around the US. Would love to do something like it again.

Three weeks, but that was travelling around rather than in one place.

I have to admit, I'm a big fan of the short break. I find getting dressed up and going out to eat/drink every night for a week or more a bit much (and I'm married to someone who thinks you should be out every night on holiday!)

Just under 4 weeks to Australia last year.
