I take as many as I can get! You won't lie on your death bed regretting taking that trip...

Hopefully you love what you do for a living... personally I prefer living not to make a living.

In the past 10 years I've been to India twice, Mexico three times, Jamaica, Greece, spent several months playing in Utah, several months hanging out at the cottage in Ontario, Aspen Colorado, Oregon, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Vancouver a few weekends in Austin Texas. Just checked in for my flight for a weekend in Fort Worth Texas. I do love my vacation time but then I only work to fill time and keep some sanity.

I didn't regret all the time I took at the start of the year, and intend on taking far more very soon. It's good to get away and see something besides what you see daily.

...but...perhaps...that little something you picked up while away...maybe...if you have the time.

Same thing could happen here. Can't live life in fear BigDL. I see the pressures and stresses of work wearing my friends and colleagues down. A healthy life needs balance.

The more I see of society today and all the s**t that's going on, the better I like my backyard.
I have absolutely no desire to travel anymore.

Little things can be picked-up just about anywhere. Be prepared and travel safely. You'd be amazed where you can safely take yourself.

Yeah. I had to go on strike to convince my boss that I need time off. It was pretty ugly.
