Hey All,

Considering OH and I have both decided to quit work on the same day with the aim of growing our business now has to be the worst time to find those bargain flights to Florida for the beginning of June.

Since the flights first came around in April at £199 I think it was, I've been too-ing and frowning with the idea of going. Our schedule from July onwards is chaotic with the business and means were going to be unlikely to go away again until February time.

Before you go oh poor you in a sarcastic tone. I work ridiculously hard, 12 hour days, 7 days a week. If you own a business you'll understand it's very hard to switch off, you've always got to be thinking, on the ball etc. So going away for us is a time to switch off.

So I've managed to get the flights for £250 (we're taking hand luggage), the tickets to the parks for £300 and looks like a half decent hotel with a shuttle to the parts for £300.

Our ESTA is still in date from NYC in January, and we can eat at the diners etc relatively cheaply. So for 2 weeks, were looking at around £1,100 each all in.

Do I bite the bullet?

My other half is going crazy with me, I'm such an indecisive person and the smallest decision can be a real tough one, so this rather big decision that seems very irresponsible given we've just quit work is a very hard one to go ahead and do.

DO IT!
As someone who has had my own businesses and often worked 16hrs a day 7 days a week holidays are necessary! You've been working and can afford it so give yourselves a break before the business takes over.

Sod what other people think just DO IT. We used to have dry spells in between manic periods when hubby & I were running our own business. At the time we were extremely fortunate as it was the very early days of the internet - about 16-17yrs ago when we first started & there were fabulous holidays, often HB going from just 99p for the 2 of us on auction sites. We used to keep a bag packed, not be too particular about what country we went to (preferably Greece or Turkey but anywhere really) and bid on those with no or few bids. We had some fabulous times away & never got a bad holiday - even at 99p! OMG people were so jealous BUT we knew how hard we were working. Wish those days were still around!

I know it's not 99p BUT had these not been there we would have still gone. We did go to Australia & the US apart from the 99p breaks, if I remember correctly after 9/11 we got almost free tickets twice to the US as many were afraid to travel. Life is not just work, work, work & with a break you'll be fresher when the crazy long weeks of running your own business start.

If you don't go you'll regret it - February is a long time away without a break. You're probably also being optimistic about just working 12 hrs a day. I hope you're not being optimistic but fear you might be. I never could switch off properly except on holiday.

DO IT!

From what I just read on the dark side it looks like the people that ordered one or two cases are getting there orders

The ones that placed silly orders are not being received
