I've never worked for a company where employees are not allowed to take vacation days. Have you? [/quote]

Many new employees are quite surprised to learn that they have to work before they get their vacation days.  Or, that the first year they may only get two weeks--or they do not get to choose vacation days.

Some new employees may be surprised how many vacation days can be carried over.  Some employers have small limits, others large limits.

[b]Not once have I burned up every single vacation day.  [/b]

I also think that it depends on how the child learns.  Some children learn better in person, despite the technology that is out there now.  [/quote]

Then you are fortunate and probably have childcare to cover every day off school when you aren't traveling.

I have 4 weeks of vacation and our traveling happens during school breaks because 1) I don't want my kids missing school but ALSO 2) if I didn't travel then I'd have to pay for other coverage while my kids are not in school or take vacation time anyway.

With 4 weeks, that allows for 1 week Spring Break, 1 week to visit family out of state in Summer, 1 week at Xmas, 1 week spread out over various long weekends. It goes very quickly.  I've never carried over vacation since I had kids.  [/quote]
