Anyone going away for New Year?

Any Dopers planning a Christmas/New Year holiday away from home? For the first time I’ve managed to tiptoe around the “Mum, dad, I won’t be coming home for Christmas” issue. I’m off down to Devon with a few mates to spend the festive season in a cottage on the coast*. We’re already trying to work out how much booze you can consume in a week (a al Withnail and I). Christmas Day will involve duck, not turkey, and I’ll damn well open presents at 5am if I so choose!

Anyone else doing anything different for the holiday? Long trips abroad, something unusual? Or just breaking the usual routine?
