| If we do it, one 10-11 day trip and probably 2-3 weekend trips. Get 5 weeks vacation so that's not the limiting factor, there are just other logistical concerns to be worked out. |

| We do a two or three week trip every summer, and I might also do a short trip to London to see family. |

| We do 2 weeks usually. One summer we did a week at the beginning and one at the end and that was nice. This year it's 2 weeks in August. But we do multiple winter trips- skiing and spring break. |

| 1 family vacation about 10-11 days long. 1 3 or 4 day weekend trip. Usually one of the 2 is visiting my in laws |

| This summer had a significant curveball as one of my in laws just received a terminal diagnosis so we're going to be spending extra time giving them the best last summer they can have. |

| I would ideally like to take 2 weeks off of work. Usually one, one week trip and maybe a long weekend somewhere. |

| I work for a school system, so I am off in the summer. I plan a variety of summer trips, some shorter and some longer with and without my kids. |

My husband is a partner in a law firm. He does not have to track or report PTO. Trust me, he’s working every vacation. No need to be jealous. We are doing a 10 day trip to UK/France and a weeklong cruise with my in-laws. He will work at least some during both trips, I’m sure. |

| My husband's busy time is always spring break so he can never take time off then, his boss makes sure they both get a week+ off in summer. He gets 3 weeks total vacation. |

| 10 days in Europe, week with my dad, ILs visiting us for 2 weeks. I do not take PTO for in law visit now my kids are older. DH is a prof and can work on his research anywhere he can carry boring books. |

| We take either 2 or 3 weeks depending on the summer. Cheap by DCUM standards: a week cabin camping, OBX with friends, pacific NW staying with family. If either of us don’t have the PTO we’ll work remote a few days while away. |
