How many times have you gone away for a vacation?

[HotelUser]

How many times have you gone away for vacation in your lifetime? Some people travel around the world constantly for vacations and some people hardly ever go anywhere. When I say away for vacation I mean an entirely different region, like either a completely different climate or different country.

I've gone away for vacation once, when I was 9 or 10 or so my family went to Florida for a week to visit Disney Land.

[beth]

from the age of 1-13 i had two holidays a year, one abroad and one to the british seaside. haven't really had a holiday in a good 8 years now though ha.

[dirrty]

idk, would probably say around 20ish. well 20 minimum anyway, that's for sure. would go on holiday once/twice a year and from around 2007-2010 was 3 times a year.

[Oleh]

I'd say 30 or so. Camping 2-3 times a year, abroad once a year. Somewhere at new year.

[Casanova]

about ten to fifteen.
Haven't had a holiday since I was sixteen because I need to pay for them now :'(.
It's depressing watching my parents go off on their jollies!

Then again I wouldn't wanna go with 'em!

[GirlNextDoor15]

I didn't count it but it's more than 10.

[HotelUser]

[@]@Mathew[/@] you're an animal, you've had more vacations than all of us combined!

[Mark]

Once or twice a year, with camping trips added in here and there

[Casio]

Up untill I was 16 when they got paid for me, I would say roughly 20 times, and from 16-now (19) since I have had to pay I have been 5 times

Side - Turkey - Aug - Arum Hotel and Apartments was my best

[Jordan]

Urm 4 times out of England.

Tunisia, Tenerife, Egypt and Paris :)

[bkps]

bout 10-15 lol

[Recursion]

Twice a year for my entire life, so that's 36 holidays, and then we go away for random weekends nationally or sometimes abroad to somewhere like Prague, so I'd probably say in the region of 45 - 55.

What did you think about Prague, out of interest? We used to visit Amsterdam during most Bank Holidays when I was younger and I'd always see Jet 2 advertising flights to Prague on their overhead bins. I always heard my parents discussing it, but we never took the plunge and tried it. What is there to see? :D

[Lamz]

I've been:

Spain three times
Jamaica once
Wales once
America once

in my lifetime... :L I wouldn't say camping or anything is a holiday so I haven't included it but

I've been:

Surrey once
Epping Forest once

[Chippiewill]

Australia twice, once 7ish, the other 9ish - Stopped by Bangkok and singapore for a few hours both times

Norway
France like three times in the same year

[Technologic]

Spain 8 times, portugal 5 times, france twice, norway, sweden, denmark, the netherlands, america twice, canada once, costa rica, egypt, the gambia, kenya.

27 times

[-:Undertaker:-]

Used to be twice a year until around about age 10, then once a year (sometimes missing out one).... mainly to Spain, also been to France, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Portugal.... can't think of any others.

Really generic family holidays, not really my cup of tea - will (in future) go to India, Cambodia, Singapore and so on for sure.

[lawrawrrr]

Errrr twice - three times a year for the last 10 years (usually florida but a few other places)

then like, thousands (ok exaggeration) of camping + caravan trips in france/uk. (ok i remmber one year we went to france 10 times so loll)

Although I don't have a number exactly I'd probably guess at 60+.....

[Metric1]

Florida at least 3 times a year.

I normally wouldn't have thought about Prague, but we went towards the end of November and it's beautiful, especially when it snows. The hotel we stayed at was wrapped like a present, they have hugeeeeeee Christmas trees and Christmas markets and stuff. There's a lot of historical buildings and POIs to see and I would definitely recommend it.

I would also highly recommend Venice :P

Oh that sounds really picturesque! Everywhere looks so magical when it snows, especially the more historic of places.

We visited Lido de Jesolo in Italy back in 2006 and spent the day in Venice. It was an amazing feeling walking through St. Mark's Square and seeing the gondalas close-by. It was amazing tasting the Italian dishes straight from an Italian chef too - tomato and parmesan was a must-eat each night. I'd love to go back again in the future! :)

[chantellehugs]

I haven't been away on holiday yet, next Christmas (I'll be 18) I'm going to Scotland with my mum :D

When I'm older I really really really want to visit Egypt, ever since I saw The Mummy film it's been on my to-do list. Also want to visit India, Australia, New York and Africa!
