Who do you know who has the luxury to go away for two weeks at a stretch?
|
| We do. Actually we didn't have a family vacation last year because my wife and daughter went to Costa Rica with her mom, but we usually do. We've been to the Grand Canyon/Southwest region three times, the Pacific Northwest once, Yellowstone/Grand Teton three times, Glacier once, Alaska once and Mammoth Cave/the Smokies once. Don't know yet where we're going this coming summer... |

Quoted:
I just recently came back from a 2 week vacation in Mexico. And, I didn't get shot at or beheaded. It's the only place I can go for 2 weeks and afford it. Once you go away for 2 weeks you'll never want to do 1 week again.  On day 1 of 14 days myself. Weather is beautiful. |

Who do you know who has the luxury to go away for two weeks at a stretch? Australians, Brits, the Irish...................... Every time the wife and I take a trip, the rest of the civilized, (with the exception of the Irish) world are "on Holiday" for a month. |
| I get 6 weeks paid each year. I spend about 10 days a year in Alaska fishing. And the wife and I like to hit Vegas once a year for 4 days or so. The rest is taken with various holidays for 3-5 weekends. Whatever I don't use I get get paid for at the end of the year. |

3 weeks vacation and 5 personal days per year. Use it or lose it. No pay out.
One big trip 10 - 14 days, usually Spring Break or June. The week personal and a week vacation taken here and there, a day or two at a time, to make long weekends for trips to family. Next years trip is to Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Son stationed at Ft. Polk. |

I've been off since the middle of November. I ain't goin back until the middle of January at the earliest. Does that count?
It ain't paid, per se; I don't get a paycheck while I'm off, but I made enough through the year that my bank account won't be much worse for the wear. But GD thinks 70 hour weeks are for suckers.
