Ok I'm going on holiday at the end of this week for 5 days. Very exciting. I wish I was going for longer though. I think the longest holiday I have ever had has been 3 weeks. How long do you like to go on holiday for? What is the loingest holiday you have ever had?

I hope that you have fantastic holiday. Five days will give you a lovely amount of time to be away. I am very keen on travelling. When I was younger I had some quite long trips. The longest of these was when I was 20 I went around the world working in Australia to pay for this trip. It lasted for one year. I travelled quite slowly, spending 2 weeks in California, a week in Hawaii, two weeks in Fifi, a month Singapore/Sumatra/Malaysia and the rest of the time in Australia. My next longest trip was when I was 29 when I went to New Zealand. This trip lasted for four months. I spent 2 weeks in California, a week in French Polynesia, two weeks in the Cook Islands, two weeks in Samoa and the rest of the time in New Zealand. These days I spend two or three weeks away on holiday due to having children and dogs to think of.

Thanks for the holiday wishes. Nice to hear you have spent time in my country (New Zealand). The round the world trip you did for a year sounds good. Wish I had done something like that when I was younger.

It must be lovely to live in New Zealand. I loved my time there. I flew into Auckland, then headed up to beautiful Northland. Next I flew to Christchurch and did a loop around the stunning south island. The walking was fantastic. I did the Abel Tasman and Queen Charlotte tracks. I caught the boat from Picton to Wellington. I caught the Art Deco Weekend in Napier. Then I went to Rotorua to see all the thermal activity before having a wonderful time in the Coramandel area. My favourite memory was sand boarding when I saw something in the sea. It was fairy penguin. Thanks for giving me best response.

Not really sure if you would count it as a holiday, but I've spent up to 3 months at a time in other countries doing volunteer work. I would go to my home country, work and save for 9 months and then go somewhere new for 3 months to volunteer. I have spent about 10 weeks each in Thailand, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan and Amsterdam as well as several short trips to other countries.
