How often do you get a holiday?

I want to get vacation 2 times a year and go to travel. Some men always say they are busy busy and have no time, but in fact they have much time free, they are busy by talking busy only. I don't think someone is too busy and have no time for holiday, the main thing is how we can arrange our time for working and enjoying...

Gosh, I wish a mom could really have one. You know, even if I say that me and my family are on vacation, being a mother doesn't really have one. you still need to look after your family no matter what. Especially if you have little children with you. Anyway, I guess everyday can be a vacation for me, from 7:30 am to 10 when my son is at school and my husbands at work. But I don't usually spend that 2 1/2 hours monday to friday laying down, I usually clean the house and cook already so when my son comes home the only thing that I need to focus on is my son and help him with his homework.

Traveling overseas is my top hobby and it is very important for me to have at least one trip abroad per year. I love to go off exploring a different country and do a lot of sightseeing. I have a travel wish list for the future and it is very long. Close to the top of my list are the Philippines, Mauritius, Madagascar, India, Thailand and Peru. My last trip happened in March and April 2012. On that fantastic trip I went to Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay. Last year I went to Colombia in January and February. The year before last I went to Canada in June and July.

Not enough time off but one has to deal with what they are dealt in life. I like to go away with my spouse at least twice a year(once overseas) to just unwind as we both work pretty hard and could use the fun and excitement of something new etc. Taking time off is vital, one needs to keep a healthy mind and a healthy body at all times.

We follow the calendar and if the calendar says it is a Holiday, then it is a Holiday for us. I always look forward for Holidays specifically to have more sleep and do something for myself. I am not an outgoing person and I love staying at home. Eversince I got married, I no longer have much time for myself. I spend my time mostly for work and doing household chores. When it is holiday, I usually spend more time sleeping and doing things I like best.

In my current line of work, holiday still means a workday because our plant is running 24/7. Holiday only means additional earnings. That is what I really don't like about the nature of my work. Holidays I think are meant to be a nice rest day to be able to wind up with family or friends. That is why I quit my current work already. Now, I am looking forward to all the holidays of the year.

I have a getaway twice every year, I think I really need it for the break from work. I love getting a holiday, be it a short road trip, or a long one. Short road trips can be quite often, but the long ones... that I got to wait until my vacation breaks come.
