Question. Are summer holidays like the norm? Do most people in UK do summer holidays? Are you guys like just above middle class?
a lot of people do yes.. the weather here (UK) is so unpredictable that if you want a week of guaranteed good weather then you have to go abroad for it
and people from all walks of life do it... just depends on budget really as to where and how you travel
I see. Like it is quite odd for me, like in SA it is a rich people thing

most my friends are above middle class like comfy don't holiday much only friends who are wealthy as shait travel like once twice a year. Like I'm going on holiday in Jan 1st time since September 2009. I live 20mins from one of the worlds top 10 beaches and I fly 2 hours and drive for another 2 hours to place with a fake beach. Lame.
Spain sounds SO EFFING RAD
