Vacation Questions
Aug. 5th, 2016 10:35 amI told my staff to look at their vacation schedule for the rest of this year. Since we are in fact open both the day after Thanksgiving and the week between Christmas and New Years, I do in fact need people to be here to provide IT support. So, since I try to do what my staff does, I went to look at my vacation schedule.
Christmas and New Year's Day are both on Sundays, which means the holiday is observed on the following Monday. I actually don't mind working the week between the two holidays - it's usually quiet, and this year will be a 4-day week anyway. Windycon is on Veteran's Day, so even if I take a recovery day after I still end up with six vacation days to burn.
Earlier this year, when I had a desperate need to take some time off, I used my parent's Travel Advantage Network and booked a vacation condo for a week at Hilton Head. I note that, right now, several properties in Florida and Alabama are available. My question is, do I want to take another week of lazing around in a condo (in warm weather) or do something else?
Budget remains an issue - 2017 will soon be upon us, and that means (for me) a flight to Finland and back. That will also probably be a two-week trip, albeit in somewhat cheaper parts of Europe, and thanks to Brexit the Euro is weakening relative to the dollar.
Decisions, decisions.
