How many vacations do you take a year?

Just curious. I see a lot of people on Facebook posting all sorts of vacations on a somewhat regular basis. I wanted to see what's considered "normal" and how far off of normal I am. Haha. I'll take a day off here and there through out the year but as far as a true multi-day vacation, I may only take one every 2-3 years.

My job has the luxury of taking weeks off. But I usually take a week off summer, week in December around Christmas and the remainder of my time is a day here and there.

I take one real vacation a year, a week or so between Christmas and New Years to see the family and (usually) a week to attend Boy Scout camp. I'm not sure I would classify the latter as a vacation but it IS time off from (paid) work.

Same as you Dave. Maybe one full week a year. Lately it has been a bit more.

We usually take a week long vacation in the spring/summer where we go somewhere. I also take from just before Christmas to after New Years off but we usually don't go anywhere. I just hang with my boys since they are out of school.

My wife seems to think we need to take a vacation and go somewhere every year, I am trying to break her of that, too expensive.

I also take several long weekends off to camp or get stuff done around the house.

I have been with my employer for a long time so I get a decent amount of vacation time.

I get so much time off from work that I have to use or I loose that I end up taking a bunch. This year I took 10 days to Hawaii, I just took a week to Minnesota, I have a week off the first week in September, and I took a week off for SEMA in November. Looking at the numbers on top of that I still need to burn almost 2 more weeks before the end of the year and then I'll still have my max of 640hrs on the books.

I have an employee that took all of June and July off this year to go to England and I think he'll still need to burn more before the end of the year.

I guess it's one of the perks of the job.

I have not had a bona-fide vacation since 06.

Vacation? Weeks off? Downtime? What are these things that you kid about?

Same. I might not work on the 4th if I am lucky.

You'er too important to the cause to let you go for too long
