Inspired by another thread, when you're away do you still login to Fabs and social media like you do at home or do you use the holiday to have a break from the everyday?

I use my holiday as an opportunity to take a break from Fabs, mainly the forum as it does get a bit addictive at times.

I still look through facebook on a daily basis, have a skim read through, upload the occasional holiday photo...

My usage drops right off, I might browse briefly during a quiet moment in my room at the start or end of the day. I do remember waiting for a bus tour in the States last year piggybacking off a free wifi signal and arranging a meet for when I returned

Might check my phone for texts in the evening before going out. Other than that I don't look at it and prefer to read a book or people watch which can be very entertaining.

I find its my time to catch up on reading, I have 2 books on the go at the moment that need finishing!

People watching is a fave pastime of mine, luv it.

If you're enjoying yourself, then why not

Is it something that pasts the time for you, like reading / people watching?

I'm always guessing about what people do for a living or where they might be from if I am on a beach or round a pool. You always end up with nicknames for people after a few days...Mr Rash Vest or Factor 100 etc

I like people watching, mostly this one woman.

My holidays are usually small countryside getaways where I switch off everything and use the time to read and write.

Yep! Guilty as charged!

It's a compelling time killer (in between occassional commenting) seeing what folk have to say on here.

I'll find out very soon hopefully. Getting a passport in August and then it's holidays time .

I'll probably still visit the forums when WiFi will be available because they're indeed too addicting

Just got home from a week in Corfu where me and my 16 year old boy did a lot of people watching and speculating about occupations etc.

I can also read a novel in an afternoon while lazing about.

However I sleep a lot less than him so spent time on fab and found myself a new Dom (fingers crossed) and arranged the social meet for today.

If it's a holiday in the UK or the US then I might check in once in a while when I'm between things to do.

If it's a holiday anywhere else I don't check in at all. I don't have my phone with me and will only use my computer for work things.

I would say it depends where I am holidaying

If in uk - then yes

If abroad then yes as well - but less mainly due to the site being really slow, especially if looking at pics, reading forum - also depends if I am in Europe or not

Ever since I've had smartphone social media is so much more accessible 24/7, which is why I take a break when I'm away ~ at least from one form of it anyway..!

As I wake up at around 5.30 am on holiday I tend to just browse through all my social media whilst enjoying my early morning coffee but after that I tend not to look at phone or iPad for the rest of that day unless I get a boredom moment

I log on while in the hotel room usually in between changing from morning clothes to evening clothes or when I have just woken up,

As for people watching I don't have to be on holiday to do that, It's a great way to pass the time,

I also like to spot the people who are people watching,

I am currently sat by our pool in Croatia with a cold beer and some nibbles.

Mrs P is fast asleep on a sun lounger.

I do check in whilst on this sort of holiday as Mrs P likes to read a lot but I am more of an an evening reader.

I use my iPad to communicate with the kids back home then jump on here for a perv and a nose.

If on holiday whether in the uk or abroad I tend not to, a break from the Internet is quite cathartic

Then I probably over do it when back to the real world.
