quicko: will holidays never cease

I have yet another installment in the "MAN Australians are ALWAYS traveling and don't even REALIZE it half the time!" series.  Ahem.

This is a true story. About a real friend of mine.  Who I am absolutely not making fun of.  Much.

I'll give it to you quick:  between now (March 1) and July (July!  2012!) this friend is going to:

--New Zealand (but it doesn't count because, well, it's just New Zealand)
--the U.K. (but it's kind of a family trip so it doesn't count)
--somewhere in southeast Asia (emergency family wedding, completely unplanned, certainly doesn't count)
--Bali (but for less than a week, so it obviously doesn't count)
--Cambodia (okay, maybe this one counts)

So, yeah, your math is the same as mine, right?  One holiday, hey?   In five months?  That's not bad, right?  One tiny trip to Cambodia.  That's not much.  Because Australians don't really travel that much.  In fact, they never get enough holidays.  And are atrociously overworked.  Which is why, frankly, I don't see why my friend hasn't started planning a PROPER holiday.  You know, a relaxing one of over ten days to a beautiful, seaside location without family members in a place that's not New Zealand.  Because otherwise it is so not a holiday.
