Would you bother travelling abroad for 2 nights?

[duchy]

It’d be quicker than driving to Devon (our usual U.K. break destination) so yes absolutely.

I’ve done several 2 and 3 night trips to Vegas too .

Looking at the weather here right now I’d be very happy to escape it for 2 nights at the moment.
Don’t see what Facebook has to do with it at all ... I was doing these short jaunts before Facebook even existed

A friend of mine went to Sydney for the weekend to see her boyfriend. I say if you can afford it, why not?!

If its a fairly short flight/drive then 2 nights is fine, but Tenerife is 4.5hours so I would be looking for a min of 3/4 nights. We have done Frankfurt and Bruges for 2 nights, nice wee taster

Well yes if I had the budget I would go. It's difficult to say for sure until the occasion arose.
If it were a short break for just DH and I or if I went with DD I'd try and stretch to 3 nights.
We are less than 30 minutes drive to two UK airports, and I know somewhere like Barcelona is a quick journey into the city once there.
Those and other factors come into it

Nope, and only cause I hate the travel home day, so would want a lunchtime flight, basically meanings travel all that time and way for 1.5days and that’s only if it was a stupid early flight out.

I would go on a short flight, maybe 2.5 hours maximum. It’s not just the flight though, it’s the journey to the airport, 2 hours in the airport and the transfer the other side I couldn’t be doing with. Possibly more doable in the summer with less chance of cancellations due to bad weather. We have done 3 days but only on relatively short flights. I don’t particularly like flying and would just be thinking of the flight home all the time. I don’t sleep for the first few days of being away either.

From the U.K. ? That must have been love ! The journey must have been longer than the visit.

I love travelling so I'd go on short trips without hesitation especially over a weekend which means no days off work; add in some sunshine and an airport lounge would make it even better!

When we go on short trips we pack light so just 'grab and go'; our carry on cases never make it into the loft between trips! I like having a chat with my hubby in the car on the way to the airport as I never get chance to catch up with him otherwise despite working with him as life is just too hectic at home.

Sometimes I take extra flights just for tier points so that as a family we all benefit from the status perks that apply to our whole party on long haul trips.

Yes from the UK. She dumped him soon after!

We have been to WDW for a weekend before so no problems for us going abroad for a couple of days.
