@Trisha
Yes, I’ve never understood what your wage level has to do with your right to have time off.

@Andy
Of course be careful that you do take time off – although in your case with all your travel that’s not a problem – it’s part of your job to take vacations.

@Amy
Denmark does look like a good choice, doesn’t it?

@Eliza
Yes, there are a lot of loop holes aren’t there? So when are you taking vacation to come visit Spain?

Ooo oooo … and mandated is a relative term in Canada. Companies do not have to give you the 10 days off. They can opt to give you vacation pay instead. Ooo ooo and it’s not so much guilt about the work and emails piling up as FEAR of the work and emails piling up …. Ooo oooo … I need a vacation!

Shannon – I’m up for Denmark. Let’s go. (Oh wait… I can set my own holidays. Let’s go anyway.) Though Trisha has a good point. Tough to choose!

Sad but true. Seems like the only people over here in the US that actually take a lot of vacation time are our politicians and CEOs. Maybe I’ll move to France.

Yeah, it is pretty incredible, isn’t it? In Spain it’s generally August when the whole country shuts down.

That’s pretty incredible that France gets seven weeks off – like hard to believe! Boo on the US, not that it’s any surprise that we’re workaholics Love the collection of days off here – so interesting to see how each country values time-off…I think I wanna move to Denmark, coming?
