What is the longest you have ever gone..

without traveling?

And when I mean traveling, I mean a trip that is more than two nights and not related to work.

I've been working full-time, post college, for 3 years, now. Post graduation; it was about a year and a half until my first trip, which was our honeymoon. Our next trip after that was 9 months later (a week in Summit County, CO).

eta: Since Fall 2010; we've been doing a trip about every 6 months, minimum

Within the last 6 years, since I've been married the longest has been about6 months. We try to do 3 trips a year, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

I didn't travel from August of last year until June, so almost ten months. I was very ready to get out of town!

Between trips that require flights? Maybe 10 months. However we do a lot of long weekend trips in our home state too

I really cannot remember. A few months? This is what happens when you grow up with parents from two different countries and then move to a third country.

I've had long stretches. 3 years for law school... about 3 years after law school when financial resources were directed to getting on our feet, starting to pay down SLs, and buying a house. Plus Calvin's first job out of law school didn't have any paid vacation time. So it's only in the last couple years that we HAVE been able to travel. We've (or I've, since I go without him sometimes) been doing 3ish trips a year since then.

I would say 3-4 months. We usually do a ski trip in the late season, a summer road trip, a big trip somewhere international in the fall, and if we're lucky somewhere tropical for the holidays. Even in college, I would do a lot of long weekend trips for ski season, summer concerts, holidays, etc. - though much cheaper and lower class back then!

Probably a year, year and a half while in school. I didn't travel much in college other than weekends to visit friends, and I didn't travel at all (other than to visit family) my first year of law school because I was broke.

Technically 10 months, but 8 months in we had a work-related houehunting trip to Beijing to find an apartment, and we did a lot of touristy stuff on that trip.

Probably the six months after DD was born. I took her on daytrips to places outside NY, but we didn't get on a plane or a train (or even a car, really) until the Christmas after she was born (born in May).

It's hard to think of another 6-month period like that. I used to travel a lot for previous jobs and I almost always tacked a few days on of personal time to those trips, so they weren't exclusively work travel.

Hmm, hard to say. Since I've been out of grad school (6 yrs almost), probably the longest would have been maybe 9 months, and I'm really only thinking of times I would have flown somewhere, since those stick out in my mind.

since I've been with DH we travel about every 6 months. Before him I was with a stick in teh mud a-hole and never went anywhere!

From our last trip before the baby was born to April - so 8 months.
