In the USA we are approaching July 4 (Independence Day), which is a major holiday. People tend to string together a few days of vacation and take off a nice chunk of time (I am!). My husband finally comes home this evening, we have Friday off (we work a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off) and then we will (EDIT: NOT BE go on a 4 day trip in the Sawtooth mountains, due to snowpack, but we will be working on our teardrop trailer)!

How about you all? I know some of you are in Europe, and it’s also vacation season there. What’s shakin’?

    Thank you! He is back in the USA but has one more connection to make…

    You got it about the 9/80. Nine hours a day; 5 days one week (8 hours on Friday), 4 days the other week, for a total of 80 hours in two weeks.

    Have fun with the DnD! It’s not for me, but husband plays with his friends in Germany too, which is really nice.

    What is your vacation plan? And why do you have to take it then, rather than September?

      Hopefully no delays for that last flight and you are back together soon :)

      Gotcha, I was super confused at first when I saw it but once I started writing it down it started to make more and more sense but I still wasn’t 100% sure.

      Thank you!

      This is a bit of a coincidence but my boyfriend is also German and he should be coming over from Germany when I have my vacation. So the plan so far is to just hang out, him seeing some friends that live around where I do and possibly buying myself a new car if things work out. I don’t think we will be doing anything too vacation-y because its literally the worst time to go on vacation when it comes to traffic+prices.

      Because of company policy. They want everyone to take their 14 day vacation (you technically legally have to have that once a year by law, but its not really enforced) at the same time.
