Here we had a few days holiday for our Diwali festival. I went on a short vacation with family and I feel so refreshed and happy. The country-side....... family re-union....... and celebrations..... I enjoyed it very much. Friends, do you like your vacations to be short or a long one? For me, I liked this one-- short and sweet.

Its the same almost all over the globe. Nations are striving hard to stabilise their economy and I am not sure many are thinking of going on an expensive vacation NOW.

I would welcome ANY vacation length if it meant I could actually go on vacation somewhere! I have not had a holiday in about 4 years now unfortunately and would love the chance to get away somewhere for a few days! Here in Egypt there is a long break of around a week coming up in early December, which this time around is probably more frustrating than anything else because all businesses shut down over this time and all my business activities have to stop until everyone comes back. At this moment in time; and given that I can't go anywhere; I much prefer a single day here and there rather than a longer term break.

Longer vacations are not quite possible for most of the busy working people. But james you haven't been on a holiday in four years. You deserve it, you need it. Its high time. Maybe you can run away for a few days like you did in childhood.

for me, i like the long one, because i have so many friends that i have to meet, we only seen each other during our vacations, we have to make sure that we all have same vacation period so we can spend time together and have bonding again. It's good to have a long vacation than the short one, you'll have time for friends and time for family ans also allow tiome for you to be relax before going to work again... thanks for posting. have a great day!

Going for a vacation gives us a break from our daily grind,and enable us to enjoy and refesh our body and soul.I prefer to have short vacations lasting over a week or 10 days maximum....such short holidays are really enjoyable and welcome.Taking longer holidays doesnt appeal to me....

If the holiday makes me happy,I would feel it's too short no matter,though it is long enough.If it makes me unhappy,even if there is only one hour,I would feel too long...Long or short is doesn't matter.The most important thing is who I go with to spend my holiday.

I prefer a long vacation. In the kind of work that I have right now, I really need a long and relaxing time. I deserve to pamper myself, sleep a lot and eat more. Though if time constraint would be a hindrance, then I rather enjoy a short vacation rather than spending my time more on work.

There....you have a valid reason. Shorter vacations mean lesser pending work. You are so right.

I would prefer a long one, by the seaside. I love beach holidays. But for the past few years, I have only been having short ones, once or twice a year. It does make you feel refreshed, but you tend to get a little more tired from the journey there and back. With a longer vacation, you will have time to rest and enjoy the place more. I can't wait for my next vacation. I hope my hubby can get leave sometime this month, so that we can go to Malaysia with my aunt and her family...

Longer vacations give you more time to relax. That's true. My vacation was a fun trip and it was not to a very very far off place. I wish you good luck for your vacation to Malaysia.
