Planning for Next Year
Is it sad that there are (almost) two full months left in 2008, and I’m already thinking about how to use my vacation days for 2009?? Probably because all of my vacation days are decided for this year… I’ll be taking 2 more, and buying the other 16 hours back from the company at the end of the year. But next year… after I pass my 3 year anniversary in December, I’ll be earning TWO weeks of vacation instead of just one. That’s exciting… and hopefully next year I will actually TAKE some of my vacation days. This year, I took one in September, and I’ll take 2 in December. That’s just not enough time away.
So next year, I wouldn’t mind buying back a day or two at the end of the year, but I want to have gotten out of here a little more than that. Even if it just means a few 3 day weekends. I don’t need one of those Disney vacations, although I wouldn’t complain about that, but I’m hoping to fit in a road trip with a friend if the vacation time and the finances pan out. We’ve been talking about it for years and so far haven’t been able to make it work. Maybe 2009 is the year.

Road trips are the best vacations! I’ve been on several over the years. Last year’s was one of the longest … traveling with a friend from Ottawa, Canada we went to San Diego, CA. Along the way, we stopped at the Grand Canyon.
Cheers!
