We have only been on one holiday when the kids were like 10 and 12 and have not been on one since due to lack of money and COVID

I tend to go for a night or 2 away a few times a year. I prefer short getaways to longer trips away.

I tend to take a few short trips a year. I get over being away from home kind of quickly.

I’m reluctant to go anywhere overseas right now. There seems to be so much unrest and natural disasters as well as havoc at the airports.

We go once every couple of years to Europe where our families live.

Once every couple of years or so but we went during the christmas holidays for a few days and decided we would like to try every year – once a year. Family Holidays are such a good experience!

I’m not much of a traveller anymore, but would love to go on a European tour in the next five or so years.

Not often enough. Would love to go somewhere via the train. (ghan etc)

Once a year we plan a family holiday. Like camping or staying in a cabin. And once a year my husband and I have a night or two away together.

Not really a holiday, but I visited my son and his family over Xmas. It’s nice and I don’t have to pay for accommodation

As a family it has only been in the last 3 years we have been going away and go away, to the same place for the last 3 years and are booked in again this coming Summer.

Thanks for your answers,we had a long over-due holiday last year and it was amazing! You do need to get away and enjoy life and have fun!

Haven’t been on a proper holiday in years. Holidays with family – especially young children – can often be hard work! Especially when self-catering and coping with stresses of different places, long journeys, noise, illness etc. and trying to fit it into a budget. Some of the most rewarding ‘holidays’ we’ve had as a family are in fact day trips from home; we pick the day, the weather, the activity, the place (new or old and familiar) and everything else to suit what we feel like. Even a few hours away or an afternoon can be very refreshing .. especially when you find enjoyable things to do, like lounge in a spa while the kids swim (if they are old enough to be in the pool alone), watch a movie, go to the beach with everyone something to do and happy. And I’d opt for a good ‘day trip’ at least every school holiday… four times a year, maybe?

We also budget for holidays. It is essential to do this to cover all costs.

When my hubby was still working he used to say that he feels you should have time away at least once a year. Holidays lets you unwind, relax and recharges you for yet another year.
We are retired now and often take breaks away a few times through out the year.

We do take little trips 2 hours from us to see family but it doesn’t usually end up being a “holiday”, more work. My partner and I have been away once since 2015 and are planning to do so again in April.

As often as we can! We plan regular breaks.
