    This is going to be the first year in about 10-12 years that I haven't taken at least a week long vacation somewhere out of State. I also make a point to use all my PTO since it is use it or lose it at the end of the year. So I'll take days off here and there normally. With a baby due in October, this year I'm saving up my PTO and trying to hover just below max amount so I can time off in addition to my two weeks paid paternity leave.

    Yup, thats my boat too. It's just wild to me at how many days off people get in corporate. "Mental health" day....wtf is that?!

    I work about 1-2 day/week average for my friend's friend's company, and I am self employed. Going out to different state type of vacation, I only take one per year to fly to relatives or in-laws. I might go to Los Angeles a visit. I haven't been there since 2007.

    When i was selling car at a franchise dealership, I remember we all worked holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. We had to work one extra day, because we were getting Christmas and Thanksgiving off. Hated bell-to-bell days. 60hr+ WAS avg for sales, and 65+ was average for sales mgr.

    Very rarely, I do not like travelling. I do stay-cations.
