Most of all it's not having a timetable or responsibilities. You can do what you want, when you want. :cheers

When we go on gulet holidays I try to persuade everyone to do as I do and put their watches and phones away and not even look at the time for a week. :)

The fact that I am not still on it and have to go back to work to pay for the next one!

It's really hard to pick one thing because it's a totally different life. I suppose top of the list has to be the heat/sunshine followed by lack of routine/timetable. We're all so stressfree on holiday, I feel as though I've left the world behind and am on my own little piece of heaven ;) NO TV or newspapers for me. I don't even like talking about people or events back home. I think I sound a bit strange :rofl

The beach and having food ready to eat. I do the cooking so its a break from trying to plan dinners with 2 fussy teenagers

I like the eating out every night although by the end of the fortnight all I want is a sandwich.

I must admit I don't like getting up early every day on holiday because it is too hot/sunny/maid wants in/trips planned :(
Not the same kipping on a sun lounger :really

Last year I woke up twice to find a huge lizard on me :yikes

the warm night, where you can sit out and eat......

I miss my boyfriend - he's spanish, so being on holiday means going to see him. On a general basis I miss the lack of responsibility and not feeling obliged to do anything specific. Holidays are a chance to do what I want, when I want and not having to watch the clock. :tup

I miss the quality family time. Normally as a family we don't do too badly, we do sit and eat together round the table most nights etc but everyone is so busy, the only totally free day is a Sunday.To have 2 whole weeks together, without the pressures of normal life is lovely.

1. Sitting on the beach til the sun goes down and it starts to get a bit chilly.
2. Coming home from the beach with two very grubby very tired daughters. Bathing them and putting them into a freshly made bed (made by someone other than me) and watching them drift into a deep deep sleep.
3. Opening the curtains in the morning and knowing that sun is not going away.
4. Eating whatever takes your fancy when you fancy.
5. Having hubby around to help out and amuse the kids.
6. Being amazed that kids never ever get bored on the beach!
7. Listening to family back home tell me how bad the weather is.
8. A completely tense free neck and shoulders.
9. Not wearing make up
10. Never being bored with saying 'we are so lucky' when we watch our kids playing carefree on the beach (they normally drive us mad!)

I live for holidays .....such a shame they only happen once a year!
They should be compulsary

I miss the warmth of the people we meet, as well as the sunshine. Eating out at different places and trying new things. We don't hire a car so we walk a lot. This gives us the opportunlty to excercise between bars :rofl

Definately having every single meal made for me, whether it's a 3 course meal in a posh restauraunt, or a kebab at the side of the road!
