[quote=Anonymous]Of course you take your time off.  I typically do mine in a few long weekends thoughout the year.

Contact them in writing ideally at least 8 weeks beforehand.  In email: "MB/DB, I am planning a getaway sometime in May.  Would X, Y or Z weekend work best for you? I will be taking A Thursday, Friday and Monday off."

Then bring it up in person within the next week to be sure they saw it.

About 5 weeks out (from the earliest possible date) I both email and say, "I need to know your preference for my days off in May, as I will be booking my travel next week." In the email version, I resend the original email below my message."

If they still haven't committed by the 4 week mark, I email and say in person, "Since you hadn't expressed a preference, I booked my time off plans for X weekend.  I will leave notes for my replacement.  Let me know if there's anything else you'd likee to prep for the backup sitter."

2 weeks before, I hand them a folder with notes for the backup sitter on the kids' routine.

The Monday of I remind then that I won't be in on Thursday-Monday.[/quote]
