A holiday is always about family
For me:
never a way to stop work and get a break away from it!
I'd rather be doing 24/7/365 work, because I love what I do. It's a passion. It's never annoying. No 'holiday rewards as a benefit' to keep me happy at my desk. Hard at the grind
Best ever holiday, when I was 10 years old, thinking that America was an amazing, magical place because it was sunny in California. I loved Star Wars, the A-Team, Starsky & Hutch, Convoy, Knight Rider, Short Circuit, Commando, Terminator, Ghostbusters, etc... and I talked to everyone about my ZX Spectrum, which America didn't have.
My big nursing auntie with a big business with her husband in Stockport, Manchester took me & mummy (they're both dead) to stay for weeks at their old Gloucester sister schoolfriend living in a retirement bungalow in San Jose. I played with a mate who had a gun. Went to San Francisco where they had a family man called Ken who was a big burly policeman who showed me his car and a bank where there was a crazy waterfall / fountain / pool in the lobby, where I touched the water. We had halloween. I took a schoolbag home so full of sweets after 'trick and treat' it was heavy to carry. We went to DisneyLand LA and Universal Studios, to see Jaws come up out of the water, and speak to KITT the car. We went to Chucky Cheese? They had puppets up top and burgers. All people said they loved English people. England is so cute & quaint. I went to a school in Kentucky which had tractors in a field to see. I went to class with kids who stood up to say a speech to the flag and give a promise to America. I was there, but couldn't follow or repeat the words. I was a bit lost and embarrassed.
