For a weekend away.

My son phoned me last night to say he wouldnt
be in work (we work together) because he was
going to St Lucia for the weekend.
Even though the complete package including
a 4 star hotel is costing him just £75, an eight
hour flight seems too much to me for just a
weekend.

How far would you/have you travelled for a
weekend jaunt?dunno

I've driven quite far, 9-12 hours... An 8 hour flight does sound LONG, but I'd begin to think that I'll have all the chances to be lazy and not go when I'm dead, and until then possibilities should be used... JMO!

I have sailed at times only going backwards for an adventure. These are only what you can remember later in life, not the endless days you were working. All to often we fail to find adventures.

If I ended up with just, say, a day after all the travelling I probably wouldn't go but if I had at least two full days or more, then... try stopping me!!

Seems ages ago now alison, but he had
a great time (apart from the strip search
at the airport), guess they thought he was
up to no good. I expect they dont get many
weekend travellers from the UK over there.
