Seems like a no-brainier, but it's not always the case.

I read somewhere recently, that many Americans don't take enough vacation time. Some don't take all that they have earned, some don't take any at all. I am not a part of either club.

If the company is giving me time off to enjoy however I like, it's going to happen. Even if it is as simple as staying home and doing nothing. Actually I do take a week off in January or February, since I pretty much work straight through the holidays.

During the summer, I schedule time to spend at a campground, and I come back very relaxed. There's so much fun to be had, including hanging out with fellow campers, campfires, enjoying great food (and beverages) bicycling and kayaking around the lake. My suggestion to everyone is to use that vacation time you're given. It's good for the mind and body!
