I can hardly wait. My last vacation was only in January but feels like eons ago. It seems that after about 6 months at my job and no vacation I begin to feel the symptoms of being burnt out big time (do you too?). Especially lately since there are some major changes and stressors going on at the moment. I will be going to Denver and driving to Utah for a day which Im super pumped for. And even after being there for 5 days, Ill have 2 days off at home to unwind or do whatever! Very pumped indeed . When was your last vacation? Do you experience the same thing as me - the burnout without breaks in working? Hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!

I am retired and lately I take my vacations in winter so that I can skip the cold a bit.

Yes. Thats a good idea. I am here in MN and it tends to get pretty chilly as well.

I just had July 1st thru 10th off and it was wonderful. I usually take a vacation every 6 months also. Sometimes you just need a break especially when your busy and feel stressed and burnt out like you said. I hope you enjoy your vacation coming up.

Sounds like you have your vacation all planned out. That is so cool. Having some down time at home after your vacation is just awesome. We all need home time.

@maezee Maybe i'll start here first in my country. Coz there are so many beauiful places here specially the beach. I just don't have time and extra money coz i've been a single mom but things get better now so maybe sooner or later i can make it happen.

7 days in 6 months is still better than no vacation at all. it's also good to spend a few days home after a vacation before going back to the office.

Exactly. In fact for me it is more than enough. I just need a little time awayfrom the grind!

I guess being "retired" means every day is vacation for me.

My last vacation was last October when we went to my fiance's son's wedding. I can't wait until I feel better so I can have a vacation before I go back to work in October. Have a great vacation.
