thefridayfiveForgive me for being late to post this -- I spent the last 48 hours getting ready for and then traveling to my vacation destination and did not have time to post until now.
1) Where did you go, and what did you do, on your last vacation trip?
2) How often do you take trips for pleasure?
3) How much vacation time do you take each year?
4) Are you satisfied/happy with the amount of time off you can take?
5) What would be your ideal or dream vacation if money and time were no object?

Date: 2018-06-10 09:59 am (UTC)1) Where did you go, and what did you do, on your last vacation trip? Went to visit a sister who lives in a small town on the coast... lovely and relaxing.
2) How often do you take trips for pleasure? Not a lot, couple of times a year now, and they're fairly short. Maybe in the future there'll be another overseas trip, but I'm not in a hurry.
3) How much vacation time do you take each year? I am lucky, I get five weeks paid leave a year (a perk of the job when I started, they've cut it since but those who started with it keep it). I am unlucky in that my specific position means it's very hard to take that amount without inconveniencing the rest of the office. I am lucky in that HR insist I keep my leave balance down to a specific number of days I can roll (and it's not "use it or lose it" it's "use it or we will MAKE you use it") and therefore when I take the leave and inconvenience the whole office, no one blames me.
4) Are you satisfied/happy with the amount of time off you can take? I'm saving a fair bit as I will retire in a few years, and that - with my long service leave - means I will be able to go on fully paid leave for quite a while and then formally retire :)
5) What would be your ideal or dream vacation if money and time were no object? Take several months to travel all around Europe/parts of Asia exploring all the old cemeteries, castles, cathedrals and old ruins/deserted places that are on my list... it's a long one.
While staying a 5 star hotels the whole way (I like my comfort, I do)
