Yea, I have alot of plans for my holiday taht I have already decided. My holidays are starting from 14th april and ending in the last week of may. So, in these days, I have planned to hang out with my friends and visit new places with my family. I really don't want to waste my vacation by simply spending the days at home. I want to go out and check out new things.

I definitely prefer to spend my vacation with my husband and the rest of my family! I go on vacations throughout the year with them and it's the best. I love being with people. I get enough alone time the few hours after work before my hubby gets home. In June we're going to the beach .. can't wait!

I love my friends but would prefer to vacation with someone special. My husband and I haven't had a vacation in a few years. He coaches softball and is gone so much during the summer months traveling. I stay home with the dog. Am thinking he has more fun than I do...lol I would love to take a family vacation with our three adult kids, their spouses and their kids. Would be so much fun to get together in a warmer climate preferably somewhere on a beach. Because of our kid's professions, it would be hard for all of us to get together without making plans a year in advance.

One daughter and her husband are both firefighters/paramedics so their schedules change regularly. The hours remain the same but the days are different each week. Hard to get us all together plus we have one daughter who lives in another state and another daughter who is about ready to open her own practice here so she will be busy for awhile. Maybe one day in the future we can all get together for a nice vacation. We have talked about it but didn't do anything beyond the actual talking.

yes that's hard how to gather them all in a 1 day celebration or spending vacation i think better to plan ahead and ask them what day they are available so that everyone will attend.yes your husband enjoy much outside because of his work but don't worry he will have time for you and to your kids.Godbless

I've never had a "romantic" getaway, but then again, I've never been involved.
I do like to take vacations with only a friend or family member, tho honestly I've never taken a vacation with any one single member of the family other than my mother, and pretty sure I'd HATE going alone with my brother!

Private beach sounds like a very good idea. I so need a vacay so bad.. I'm to the point of burned out and I think I need to go on a road-trip or get away from the country for awhile.. still thinking. And I need to plan with people whom I want to go away for. Friends sound nice.. but family is cool too. So I'll see how it goes. The more the merrier, isn't it. Awesome. If I do go for a vacation, I just want to eat, sleep, relax and chill and then if possible, buy some souvenirs too. I'm not really too particular about shopping that much, but I love to collect souvenirs.

Hi Amyson,
Of course i want to spend the vacation with my family. this is a great time for me and my husband to make up with our kids. a good time for bonding session in a resort. it will be lots of fun. we all love to swim. i am exploring a nearby resort for reservation.

friend it will be in the pool. i don't think going to the beach will be healthy for my kids...for us. it's too hot here right now. so, we will just have it in the swimming pool. if it's a covered pool much better.

I want to spend this summer vacation on the beach, in an island. it would be okay if I'm alone but I really prefer spending it with special someone and with friends. The more, the merrier, right?

Private beach?? lol =D THat will be so cool!! And also expensive!! lol =D
BUt i do like the idea though!! HAving all the privacy to oneself, with no disturbance!! And the aim of a vacation is to have PEACE! BEing away from all the noise we faced in daily life etc.. haha =D
As such, one will be opting for the sound of nature to calm our inner self.. hehe ^_^
And i think i will prefer to spend my vacation alone, or maybe just 1-2 friends, whom shared the same interest.. haha =D

Im not really sure. I would like to experience travelling alone sometime but Im not that confident enough that Id also want a friend or two to come along with me. I dont have a special someone at this point so friends and family are taking that spot for now.^_^
I do wish you luck on that vacation plans that will hopefully come true some time soon.

I love going on vacations. I usually spend my vacations with my family. Sometimes, I go on outings with my friends too. My special someone is part of my group of friends so when I am with my friends, he also comes along. It's like hitting two birds with one stone.

well if you ask my opinion then i would prefer to spend my holidays alone with my husband. since we recently got married so i think its going to look quite rude in the way that i'm spending my holidays after recently getting married. we went to japan and then back to usa after we got married. presently i'm in india spending my vacations here with my family.

Its always good to spend time with good friends, specially vacation with them.Try to imagine going to the beach alone.If you ask me its better if you have your friends with you or even your lover with you.You have alot of things to share to talk about and to experience as well.Thats what makes life much more interesting! when we share it with others who feels the same way like we do ;)

I am much happier going on holiday with my partner, we can go where we please and be happy together. We normally go camping so we can have some peace and quiet together, away from the stress of every day life.

As far as plans are concerned I got couple of friends whose wedding I have to attend at their native place as all their relatives are there. Even my college friends are planning to visit GOA this summer after their exams are over. So I have many plans but don't know which one would succeed.
I have enjoyed vacation with family and friends but never got any opportunity to be on vacation with someone special because there is still no one special other than my friends.
Hope soon I will experience even that type of vacation but till now I enjoy vacation with my friends.

i think that's sounds exciting though even you don't have special someone to carry lol having your friends presence is wonderful thing.since you said you have so many plans where to go i think better for you to write down in a piece of paper so that you will be organize or bullet a calendar for dates so that you see what is next activities.enjoy then and thank you for sharing..

Summer is now on the go,and also school vacation.
We are now ready to go for our month long vacation,but,not my friends or someone special.
I will be having summer vacation with my kids and family.
And,it will be for at least 2 months.
So many things to missed and to make up with boredom and stress.

I like to either spend vacations with a special someone or with friends. who i go with depends on their availability...and it is also influenced by the location. A place that seems much more geared towards girls (shopping, spas) would be spent with my friends. A couples resort...well, that's a given.
