had a holiday in Dec08/Jan09. I choose not to get involved this trip and I had a great holdiay.
I got sick of going over to Bali and having to listen to everyone's sad stories and then feeling guilty and giving them money.
We work at home dam hard to get our money to go on holidays and from now on that's what I will be doing. I won't be going on holidays anymore to get depressed and feeling sad for them.
This is the way I feel now. I have done my bit for the people in Bali over the last 19 years. Enough is enough and understand exactly what you saying.
I don't care who agrees and who doesn't I now know the difference between a good holiday and a bad one. I know what I would rather have, its only taking me 19 years.
The secret is don't ask how they are going as it leaves you wide open for the sob story. Hello for me is enough now.
Cheers
