What is the longest time you have been away for vacation?

[wishesuponastar]

For us it was a trip to Disney in 2007 for 6 nights. We can't wait to go back. Hopefully next year for 6 nights again.

I've heard of RV'ers going for months at a time. I'm sure they have to be retired to do that. I think I would miss my children too much to do that.

Our family trip to China a few years ago was 16 days. Dh gets 5 weeks vacation & I get 4 so long trips are possible for us. Typically we do a week or 2 at the beach each summer and a few long weekend when school is out.

We just finished a 30 day road trip which included 8 nights at WDW, 17 states and about 5000 miles.

Now that's something that is on my bucket list! Going cross country from the East Coast to the West.

Right around 2 weeks, don't remember the exact number of days. I think I was in 7th or 8th grade. Family drove the minivan from Michigan all the way to California and back. Did a whole west coast tour type of thing. Grand Canyon, Vegas, San Fran, Vancouver, Mt. Rushmore, some battlefields, Zion National Park, Redwood Forest...I know there was a lot more to it. Really cool trip.

I have twice taken 16 day vacations-one to Italy and one to China/Tibet. Most international vacations I limit to 12 days; my longest WDW has been 10.

Two weeks on a family trip to Ireland.

Mine is exactly the same -- 2 week family trip to Ireland when I was 16. Second-longest was 10 days in Disney in 2005.

Oh, I was about to say Two months, on a cross-country RV trip. With my two youngest kids, 12 & 14 at the time. It was AWESOME! We did it the summer that DH retired; I was working as a school nurse, so I had the whole summer off. We packed up and left the day after school got out.

The longest couple trips we every did was a week-long mission trip to Jamaica in 1994 (don't get excited--it was a lot of hard work, no shopping, no beach time) and a 6-day trip to England and Wales in 2001.

Oh, I take that back! DH & I took our RV down to Mobile at Christmas & New years, then over to Destin and Sopchoppy, FL, to visit other relatives. We were gone for 10 days and we had a blast even though it was 24 degrees outside!

Last year we went to Disney for 14 nights. I never go anyplace unless its for at least a week. I can't see going all the way to Florida from NY for anything less than a week.
