Vacation Days?

Do you save them up for a big getaway, or just take days here and there (like add them on to long weekends, or just mental health days, etc...)?

I take one week off to go away every year with my friends. Than I take days here and there.

Re: Vacation Days?

I usually take a few 1 or 2 week long vacations.

I use personal days for long weekends.

Re: Vacation Days?

I'm torn. DH wants to plan our next vacation, but then it would use up all my days.. and with work and school, i want to feel like i at least have a day or 2 that i can take if i just need a 'break'.

but then, those are never really rewarding, b/c i have to go back the next day anyway Chat Icon

That's a tough one. I'm a teacher, so I have lots of time off (even teaching summer school) but DH teaches college and our schedules do not match up at all- I am off in Feb, he's off in March, I'm off in April, he's done in May, etc.

It would be frowned upon at either job for us to take time off to go away, so I say if you can, do it. I find that those "mental health days" don't do much to take away stress.

Re: Vacation Days?

We usually go away once a year so I'm taking a full week or so at that point. The rest of it is a couple of days here, a couple there.
