[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll dissent here. There are a lot of factors that would make a difference to me with Australia. What are the flights? How old are you? How much PTO do you normally get? What kind of a flyer are you? What is it about Australia that draws you?

I went for 8 days when I was between children -- sort of a leave Friday night come back Sunday situation. I did it that way because that was what I could do, given work and timing and costs. I have always wanted to go to Australia and this felt like the moment so I just grabbed it.  The flights were straightforward; my city to LA, LA to Sydney. Nothing horrific. Was it exhausting, especially that first day in Sydney, given that you land in the morning? Yes! But we trudged through, collapsed at around 7pm, and the rest of the trip was fine. Even that first day, even though I was tired, seeing the opera house and the beach and drinking a flat white can perk you up real quick.

Americans get so little time off, and we're so busy, not everyone can wait until that "perfect" 2 month period (or even 2 week period). Nothing in life is certain, so if you have the means, the desire, and the energy to do so, I think you could do it.
