VACATION!!!

Man, a thread reminded me of VACATION!


I've never had a vacation since before I started school, like, away from home-wise.

So I asked my boss for a week off unpaid, and he said okay. (I asked for unpaid sicne I havent worked here but for like 4 months and havent earned my first years worth of paid vacation)

So I'm going with my 1yr old son and my wife and my grandma to her place in Alpena, Michigan on Long Lake. Her and my grandpa built a place up there over the time frame of 5-7 years and have a good deal of land, 2 lots , one on one side of Long Lake Road, and one on the other on the lakefront. Both in the same spot, so its nice. We'e got a good stretch of land for whatever, house is built on the back lot. Its like, super luxurious, and I cant wait to go there, havent been there in over 12 years. So we're gonna go, open the place up, I'm leaving on June 11th, friday, after work, picking up my grandma, her truck and the 1220 tractor to cut the grass, then heading up for a 4 hour drive up there. i"ll stay there through the 20th, then I'll be heading back here.

I'm so effing excited, a week without work or anything, its almost too much! Still over 2 weeks to go.

I want to take the skiboat out though, my grandma doesn't want to 'cause she thinks I cant handle it but shes thinking of selling it and I want to take it out before she does so.

Well what are you all doing? Entitled to a vacation? Where are you going?
 
I'm going on a mini-vacation to Atlanta in 2 weeks. Gonna go see the ASO and probably go to Six Flags among other things.

I'm planning to go to California and Mexico this August but it's not firm yet.

thats not counting the 1 week he already took to come with me in PA for a small vacay.

He's been there a long time.. You build vacation time when you get seniority. He's been there for 12 years.
 
i've been taking a week off here and there since the beginning of the year. i have to save some vacation for later in the year though so i'll be working for a while.

Going to Palm Springs for 4 days this weekend. I'll be staying in a nice 3 bedroom house with pool & jacuzzi.

Maui in September for 8 days!
 
I just came back from this: PPIR: AMA Races and put on close to 1000 miles for the trip.

(BTW, the races are cool but it's actually the road-trip that is the best part of this vacation, I've done it every year for the last 5 years).
 
hmmm I'm taking various small vacations......examples include going to the zoo, going to the beach one weekend, going to Florida for a wedding, and then going to St. Louis for about a week.

I much prefer a whole big huge deal, not just days off. I cant stand those... But wow... Awesome to hear you all are going to have some fun for the most part.

What is this vacation you speak of?

Its the time of rest when you get to eat all the tofu crackers and Boca and Morningstar Farms out on the grill baby! Viva La Veggies! 😉

Anyone who's against vegetarianism or veganism, don't reply or comment to this. THis thread is for the high spirited folk who are too busy focusing on their vacation to pay much attention to work, not for flame wars on such topics.
