When your holiday/vacation is coming to an end, do you relish the prospect of going home or do you yearn for an extension to your stay?

Asked by ucme (50047points) October 2nd, 2011

Or maybe it’s neither of those feelings. You may be perfectly content with your break & equally happy to return home, I just dunno you see? Enlighten me, if you wish.

It depends on how good the vacation is itself. If I’m tired of it or had enough, or maybe just bored of it, then I’d be happy to go back to the grind. On the other hand, if I’m really enjoying it, I’d dread going back to school or home. I don’t vacation much, so to me, my holidays/vacations are my weekends.

A friend of mine loves to quip “the two best days of vacation are the day you leave and the day you come home.”

I have found most times that proved to be true, however there was one road trip from which upon return I felt sad to have to pick up the daily-ness of things again.

Maybe I haven’t been on one long enough but I always yearn to stay longer.

I usually want to stay. I like being on vacation.

I find that I usually want to stay longer, not that I have a problem with going home, but I just like being away from everything and not having to deal with a lot of things.

I’ve been on long vacations away from home (up to a month) and I really just want to get home to my own bed. Some week long vacations just aren’t long enough, though.

It usually depends how long the vacation is, and how the vacation is going. Some long weekends are perfect. Sometimes a week is too short. Usually I never want to be away more than three weeks.

If I was enjoying it, I’d want an extension definitely, but if I was getting a bit bored, I’d want to go home.

Depends on the length of my vacation too. If I had been vacationing for a long time, I’d want to go home because I’m most likely bored and tired.

I don’t go on many vacations, and even then, they don’t span much more than a week or so. I tend to get home sick easily, but on the other hand, I still dun wanna leave where I’m at. It’s a sweet and sour situation with me, usually related to not wanting work to start again haha.

After I have been on holiday for about three weeks I often start to feel like I want to be at home in my own bed, seeing my dogs and cat and just being in my own space. I didn’t feel that at all on my recent holiday. It could have gone on for months I think.

If I am with my boyfriend I dread going home and just want to stay where ever we are. I love the alone time I have with him and don’t look forward to going back to normal and sharing him with the day to day stuff like work.
