[quote=Anonymous]Some jobs are more amenable to vacations like this. My DH works in an office that recruits heavily from universities in Asia and the Middle East that happen to have very strong programs in an area of engineering where they need a lot of expertise. It's common for many of these colleagues to travel home for 3-4 weeks, using all their PTO or saving it up over several years for a trip like that, so that they can spend extended periods with their family. It just gets built into the culture of the workplace and even the American workers will take similar trip now, for instance taking a month off the summer before a child goes to college, or doing an extended trip for a big anniversary, because the office has found ways to accommodate this kind of travel. The people who do this take fewer long weekends or random days off, so it evens out.[/quote]
