Any of your guys or girls taking holiday's over the festive season?

If so anyone going away?

I would love to be able to take the family on a holiday (never really been on one before, even with my family).

Is it really all it is cracked up to be or is it better to stay at home and annoy each other at home?

I finish up work in a few weeks and I won't be returning *yay*

no.

28th - 3rd off (my birthday 31st)

double island point for a few nights

Im staying at home with the family for the celebrations and then heading to melbourne for some fun early January.

why the apostrophe?

Because I fail at life.
Fixed

lol :p

I never particularly enjoyed family holidays except camping ones. I'm going to try and get down to the snowy mountains sometime during the uni hols. If you havn't been there, you really should at some point in your life. Camping is pretty cheap and there are nice sites. The main ranges walk is just stunning.

sydney to see family and fatboy

going to Yarrawonga in Victoria from the 22nd to the 31st.

lol @ fail at life

I'm going on holidays this Friday (16th) and have until Mon (9th) off.

two weeks off over xmas and new years (have fun at fat boy strexy, redhat will be there also,lucky buggars!)

going up to cairns to see the olds who just sold teh family house
check out the new place

i hear cairns is super dry this year, hope its not too hot

khel - i have a ticket to melbourne that leaves Brisbane on the 20th and returns on the 31st.

I'll sell it to you for $250 as I'm not gonna use it and its non refundable.

Nah, its not the plane fare I can't afford, its more the money I'd spend while I was down there for a week :)

I'm looking at going during my holidays in May next year instead.

family holidays are almost always forced affairs. really, everyone who is going has to want to go, and has to have input as to where it is and what they'll be doing, or they'll just end up whinging or bored.

holidays in general are overrated, people should spend more time enjoying all the time they have, and less time hating their current lifestyle and waiting for their hollies

my Work's Business off 22nd December to January 3rd, Im going to Japan with my parents in Feburary :)

I've never been on a holiday, not once. We never had enough money when I was a kid to go away anywhere so I guess its a case of you don't miss what you never had. As a result, I'm probably more happy to just stay at home or annoy mates than to go away to a hotel for a week or go camping. Another bad thing I guess you could call it is that I can't relax, only time I'm relaxed is when I'm asleep. So if I did go away I'd always be looking for something to do, or sleeping. Well I don't need to pay $200 a night to sleep at home.

Over the holidays, I sometimes get so bored I just wish they'd end so I could go back to work.

you need a life whoop

whoop, yeah I know what you mean. Doesn't help when you have people around you who are used to travelling and going on holidays.

cs_master valid input there, really needed that, heck maybe you should be a motivational speaker?

Resigned from my job, finish up the 21st. So Holidays until I find a replacement job or start study and get a replacement job.

My holidays involve looking for new job, deciding what I want to do (try a couple things, work experience for the win!) and buying a new car! YAY!

Getting WoW this week... so here's hoping I don't become an addict (doubtful).

Did the whole family holidays thing when I was younger. I never enjoyed it, I'd much rather be at home on the pc then on holiday. However, I do plan on visiting some places in australia and around the world. Finland (prob some other euro countries), Japan, USA, Canada, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

What I really need is a job that will enable me to work in those places, then I'm set!

Heading down to sydney for the night (tonight) to see green day if that counts

I really need a holiday, but I'm not having one for a while yet :(

Plan to get to a tropical island next year as a 2nd wedding aniversary sorta thing. Maybe French Polynesia.

Cairns for nye with old friends!

i used to have the phattest family holidays when i was a kid! my olds love to travel & we holidayed all over australia... was tops! best places were airlie beach near mackay, port douglas (ages ago), adelaide hills & albany (wa).
i am planning a huge euro holiday when i finally take my long service leave but thats probably still a year or so away... just gonna take a few days off this xmas/nye & hang with some friends in bne.

i've jus got back from my week off, went down to pottsville with 19 mates, had a massive house right on the beach, was awesome.

My wife and I are in Australia fro our christmas holidays.
Been here 2 days so far and still tryingto gt used to the heat and jetlag.
We are going to spend a weekend at the Gold Coast and a few days up in Townsville.
Apart from that we are simply going to relax and enjoy the family time.

meryln dont go up to the gold coast this weekend man.
Might be a bit dodgy.

Yo spook, in regards to heading to Cairns soon I would be hugging the Air Con or getting out in the water alot cause it's bloody BLOODY hot even this far north right now.
I feel like i'm in a goddamned oven.

Air con ftw.

Heading down to sydney for the night (tonight) to see green day if that counts

It most definetely counts!!!

However, if you change your mind and decide that you'd rather a "better" holiday, I'll be happy to take the ticket off your hands :).

I'm having this 3 weeks that lead up to xmas off and then get xmas and boxing day off then I think its back to work to help with a maintenance shutdown.

I'm just taking it fairly ez.

I think what Agent 99 is trying to say is that she will sleep with you for the Green Day tickets...

>cs_master valid input there, really needed that, heck maybe you should be a motivational speaker?

don't think you need it clearly you've got your life sorted lol
