You are certainly not a small minority. Many people are stressed out planning for the vacation, during vacation and after the vacation. Luckily for me, I enjoy my holidays and are at least half-charged after them

I just don't want to go somewhere and lie on a beach for two weeks. I would rather go home where different and see something few people have seen. I don't want the cheap package holidatys to Spain or France. I want to go to Central Asia see the great Blue Mosque or travell to deppest darkest Africa.

I think they actually produced a list of the most stressfull things in an average persons life. Some where actually very suprsising. There was what you would expect in the form of deaths in the family and changing jobs, getting married and having children. Buying a house also made the lsit s did going on holiday and taking time off work

Yes, they called it the main life stressors. And a human being can probably cope with two at a time for example getting married and changing jobs.

or getting married and going on honeymoon! I always find its the little thing sin life that stress me out rather than the big big things. Having said that when my Dad was made redundant adn i was workign for the company part time I did flip one day and shout at my dads boss - think I called him an incompetant idiot or soemthing along those lines.
