Just out of curiosity how many holidays do people 'usually' go on a year? Short haul and long haul?

I've only really just started travelling by myself as I'm 21 and a student and don't have a lot of money. Last year I went to Glasgow twice, England, San Diego (paid for my 21st yay!), and Paris. I live in NI so Glasgow and England are 'holidays' to me0

We go on 2 a year, 1 long haul and 1 around a 4/5 hour flight. Wish we could go on more...0

Last year went 1 short haul and one in the uk.
Only just started travelling now I have a family. Hoping to go on another short haul this year and got center parcs in January possibly might fit something else in before thenMake £11,000 in 2011 challenge - £120/£11,0000 -
OH is self Employed so depending on work availability sometimes one maybe two....We are very keen on the USA so they can add up a bit.
Saying that off to Tunisia next week on a mega bargain trip....fingers crossed all will be ok.0 -
I'm sure it will be ok for you SnowBelle, whereabouts are you going? We went to Yasmin Hammamet a couple of years ago and loved it0

Last year I went to Amsterdam, Germany, Austria, & Italy
They were only cheap-ish coach trips as I didn't feel 100% to fly. The only reason that I did so much travelling was because I was being treated for cancer the year before & I was too ill to travel. Usually it's only the one long-haul flight for me.

Well in 2010 I went to:
- New Zealand - tail end of 4 week trip coincided with the new year, so only really spent 5 days there in 2010
- Dubai - 2 day stopover on way home from NZ (included with flight price)
- Italy - 5 days holiday
- Northern Ireland - 5 day holiday
- Canada - one week holiday
- about 10 weekend UK trips too - London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cornwall etc
This year
- I'm taking a 4 week holiday in Oct/Nov to go to Hong Kong, Oz, NZ and Singapore
- I have been to Birmingham on a weekend trip already, and am going there again at Easter
- 2 trips to London are booked for summer time too
I also go away with work too. 3 x per year to Brecon for 4 nights, and I'm off to London for 3 nights later this month.
In 2012:
- 2 weeks to Bahamas in March for a wedding
- 1 week in Mexico for another wedding!
So, in answer to your question, lots!!

Well I recently stopped being a skint student and got a proper job with a decent holiday allowance so I'm hoping to go fairly often. Got a weekend in Edinburgh planned next month and a week in Berlin in July/August booked already. Hoping to add another wee city break to that at some point too.Debt: Started at £4780, now at £4190
