Was chatting to someone on holiday about when our holidays start. :cheers Is it when you book the holiday, at the departure airport, once checked in, when you've landed, arrived at the hotel, etc....?

For me its when I lock the back door..... :tup

How about you?? :think

Stated earlier that the hol starts for me as soon as we get in the car and head to the airport but I don't totally relax until I've unpacked at the hotel. Then it's just 2 weeks of total enjoyment :cheers ;)

For me it is also when I have unpacked that I can really relax and get into holiday mode, only then can I stop panicking about what I might have forgot!
For Hubby he is in holiday mode the minute he finishes work, he leaves all the worries to me!

The very second I finish work, it's always take away the night before we go, usually have an early flight so brekkie at the airport. Guess what I do for a living?..............Cook!

mine has started now and i'm not going until august holiday paid for sorted out the toileties sun creams new towels cos they are lighter than the old ones . My holiday starts as soon as i close the front door behind me and i'm on my way to the airport. depending on time of flight i have a few bevvies, look forward to my inflight meal . In saying that tho i dont really like flying , i love being at the airortand seeing the plnes come and go , but as soon as they call my flight i fill up and get nervous butterflies.

Im going on august 5th, so my countdown and holiday puchases will be in july.

When im in that taxi going to manchester airport..thats my start of my hols, my flight is at 6.20am, so it will be brekkie at the airport. followed by a few glasses of wine. then a walk around duty free, and maybe a few bottles of perfume purchased,then to wh smith for 2 magazines normally fashion ones.but I cant settle to we land at malaga till my case comes around on that carousel,that for me is the most stressful thing about the holiday. maybe this year Il be stressing if this volcano carries on cos Il then be frightened to fly, and Im not normally a nervous flyer. :cheers

Mine would have been starting next sunday (may 2nd) as we should have been going to Crete but we had to cancel due to moving house & we couldn't afford to do both :( . We're going to try & book up for Kos for next year though (been 3 times already & would love to go back). So as soon as next years holidays are on sale & we know if we can afford it then the holiday will start as soon as the deposits are paid!! :rofl :rofl :rofl
