    I go on holiday once a year, and only started travelling abroad when I was 29!!
    Not seen that much of the world yet, but I'm working on it! I love holidays sooo much!

    i don't know some people like to have a new car every other year, others prefer drink and drugs, big tvs/gadgets

    I like my holidays.. when i see a posh audi or bmw driving by i always think company car, when i see a 40 year old in a ferrari or porsche i always think small c0ck and why the f*** are you driving that in the UK

    Totally with you there. I have yet to own a car with central locking, electric windows, CD player etc.

    Also, I stopped smoking nearly 2 years ago and the money I spent on that goes into an account on a monthly basis towards the hols.

    I also hardly ever go out. I have had one night out this year.

    In order to afford the jamaica jaunt, I will be frequenting the Old Style board to get tips for cheap eating.

    I went abroad on hols to France etc. as a kid then Majorca, Tenerife etc. as a teenager and I've never missed a year yet. To me it's worth going without other things for.

    Usually I go on about 3 trips a year that involve flying. The trips I take in the car are usually random and sporadic, so I can't really guess how many of those come up a year. Most of my trips are shorter ones, such as long weekends, not typically the week long kind.

    I disagree, I'd go on as many as money would allow..

    It's an open book.
    The more you do, the more you travel, the more interesting it is.
    Same about the author.
    It ain't a practice session so just go for it!
