Why do they call it "a Holiday"

Holiday does it for me.....

"Another david" please let us know what you think of cuba , my better half has fancied it for ages , and ive finally succumbed and said id like to go....... I just love the caribbean, dya think the weather would be good in april , ?am off to cayo levantado on jan 1st and am counting down the days:- i tend to call caravan hols adventures and if someone else cleans shower makes bed and cooks thats a holiday for me anyway ..... I enjoy all of it ! :)) cheers mrs bc

I do wonder if holiday is the correct word as while in the main it is we have used the caravan to attend a funeral and other events. Frankly the term does not worry me but visit would cover the odd occassion when it is not a holiday.

For us it's a holiday not a hobby! 

We both work full time and go away as a family 'on holiday' during the school holidays ........ so yes, we refer to our time away in the caravan as a "holiday". Definitely not a 'hobby' for us. Oh, and I don't have an issue with the emails the CC send 

We often say to friends that we are not on holiday just living in the van! Don't think that they fall for it though! 

Its just you BVM. Nothing wrong with the word holiday.

to some, 'trips' mean something completely different, yeah man

You're a motorohomer. You should know to keep off the "grass", man. 

...we dont 'holiday' as such when in the van, we are merely living in a different place....because the van is our home, sometimes for several months...

a cruise would be a holiday, as would a package-type trip abroad....i think anything where i might pack a suitcase..

when away from home touring, we are merely 'in the van'... even if this is for three months or more...

I have always defined a holiday, whether a weekend break or a much longer period as a change from the routine of day to day living at home whether working for a living or retired.
