We went to the Eastern Shore in a big lakeside mansion with my parents. The place was called Chincoteague, Virginia. It's literally on that islandy string of land horror of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the bridge fees is like $26 both ways. I think it's $32 now. Fucking ridiculous.

I have never taken a "real" vacation.
I usually take 1 week in November and 2 weeks in December off.

Had two destination vacation plans this summer. One in the Outer Banks and the other in New Orleans. Had to cancel both.

Earlier this month, but just one day's worth.

I usually just take individual vacation days sprinkled throughout the year to get lots of long weekends.

Attended a funeral in Minnesota in February for a couple of days. Wouldn't really consider that 'time off' however.

It's not guaranteed. Often enough when you start at a new company, you'll have far less PTO than you used to. I switched jobs and lost 2 weeks of PTO yearly. I'll have to be with my current company for 4-6 years to get it back.

I don't think I've gone out of state on vacation since 2016, I hope I'm wrong but I can't remember going anywhere since. Unless you count a weekend thing or just time off work, in which case I've had a decent amount of that.

Dang if you have vacation days, you should definitely use them unless you're at one of the rare good companies that pays you extra if you don't

As for the topic, i took a little weekend trip the weekend before last. And last month I used some vacation days to visit the wife's sister and brother in law in Dallas

It's my first job outside of university in my field. It's also good money, but yeah.

I'm planning on leaving, or at least making a heavy pull for a new job at the end of the year. I can actually argue that I'm not some shlup who barely got a degree and can do work.

Technically I have two pools of sick time and PTO but my new company doesn't care when or what you use either pool for so I have that many free days to use for whatever

And I'm a first year employee. When you get to 15 years you get at least 9 hours a pay period of time off accrued.

Yeah, depends on the corporation obviously but some are more free with their money. I have a buddy who makes six figures and he said he probably works like two hours a day. And he said they offer free draught beer at his job lmao. All because he knows IT and he's good at coding

2017, went to the Florida keys
And even then, we were going to a wedding in Florida and just decided to take a week before it to go to the keys before going to the wedding.
