Vacations

We usually take a big family vacation during Spring Break. We missed this year because my husband had open heart surgery, but in previous years we went to South Carolina, and Club Med in Florida a few times. I'm thankful that my job doesnt require me to work weekends and I get four weeks paid vacation.

must do vacations!
Well, first of all you must have "Me" time. Give yourself a vacation at least once a year. I always take vacations and holidays off and only work minimal weekends!
vacations
We haven't taken a "real vacation" this year for some reason.  I think because my work has been so back logged, but I see the top now, so perhaps we will take a trip soon.  We have taken several 3-4 day weekends, and I'm usually bored with a place after 3-4 days anyway.  I'm in Texas so I want to go somewhere cool! 
IC vacations
I do fill-in work for a friend of mine when she goes on vacation and the clinic doesn't seem to mind. She just got their permission to have me stand in for her. It seems to work. As an IC, I also take my laptop and work on vacation. I wonder what it'd feel like to actually take a vacation and not work on it LOL

IC 12 years, took 2 vacations in that time

It is very_difficult to get time off for vacation when you work for yourself and cut out middle people......I do exactly that and I haven't had a vacation since 2005 and before that during 9/11/01.  The offices may understand and allow you 2 weeks but then you have to play *catch-up* when you return, trying to bring them all current.


It's a trade-off for sure, unless you have friends that can cover your vacation time and who you trust with the work. 


 


ANNUAL vacations?? lol I haven't had a vacation

Any ideas for family vacations near WV or surrounding states? sm
We are in such NEED of a relaxing fun vacation.  We are from WV.  We love the beach also.  My husband and I have a 3-1/2-year-old son and are thinking about taking a vacation early June or mid-June.  Does anyone have any ideas of a nice relaxing place that would be good for us and our son?  Any websites or details would be GREATLY appreciated.  We have been struggling for about 6 months now due to health issues and finances.  We really are hoping to get our finances in order by then so we can enjoy our family.  Stress has been about to kill us.  Hope you are all doing well and I truly appreciate your suggestions! 
Brain surgeons and the U.S. President take vacations; so can you. The world won't stop if you do!
 
What service pays sick time, not working, vacations, etc.?
Where? I have never gotten paid for any of these, especially sudden illnesses, or I would be rich!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, NC beaches and even mountains make great vacations.
and then everybody goes home to work in Charlotte or Raleigh. This beach I went to is only a 2-hour drive from Raleigh.
