It's similar with me but not with luggage, the hill I fought everyone on was about food. When I book a holiday I expect to eat out for pretty much every single meal, I anticipate and expect to be spending extra money on it and I budget for that extra in the holiday. When I holiday I am really looking to go exploring and experience food in a different place lol. Otherwise I get stuck in these self catering nightmares where it's just relocating home base and cooking dinner and lunches the whole time and that's no damn holiday for me. I'm dead clear on it when discussing the holiday initially, but there's always been a blow up because someone wants a "home cooked meal" and I'm like "well go home then." When I was younger and used to go camping, that's different. Now I'm older I want my little luxuries damn it!
