I don't want to ruin my relationship but I also don't want to spend my entire holiday (Its gonna be an awesome holiday!!!) staying in contact with my boyfriend.He's probably okay with less contact rather than more. But I don't want to seem distant or clingy... So how much contact is appropriate? Reply to this Question

 I would say send a brief email every other day (if today is Monday, you'd send it Tuesday) telling him what sights you have seen; what you liked about places you've been, people you met, etc., - in other words, make it interesting and mention that you look forward to seeing him when you go home.
"Visit" on Skype once a week - then you can spend a bit longer just chatting and catching up. Let him know before you leave so that he can respond......
I doubt if he will expect to hear from you EVERY day; he knows you're on vacation and out and about......
I think you'll be just fine. Enjoy!

 Once every other night send an e-mail, send a short e-mail every night if possible, do a skype thingy maybe once or twice a week. Should be enough. But plan this with him before you leave!!! He is the one who will wait to hear from you, and if you dont want to make him upset you really need to ask him. But, once every other day should be fair, as long as you write a decent size mail (about two-three paragraphs).

No harm in saying hello every day pr every two days just for ten minutes or so. I do speak to my girlfriend every day or nearly every day and she lives elsewhere. You could leave it even three days without speaking. But not much longer than that. Two days is really the better gap.
