Holidays

1. Holidays are all different depending on the company and time of your life.
   Dominic Monaghan 
   
2. I've never understood activity holidays since we seem to have far too much activity in our daily lives as it is. Find a culture where loafing (бездельничанье) is the order of the day and where they don't understand our need to be constantly(постоянно) doing things. Find somewhere you can have a hammock (гамак) holiday.
   Tom Hodgkinson 
   
3. I'm lucky in that I travel a lot for work. I also manage several holidays a year. I'm not someone who sits in the sun or goes sightseeing, though. If I go away, it will be for fishing or something like that.
