Yes, my husband and I spent two weeks on a road trip out West in March.  Had a great time.  Saw breathtaking sites.

Not yet - I'm a sneaky girl.  This year I get 2 weeks vacation and 1 personal day.  I'm using one vacation right after the busy graduation season.  I think my body is going to need the rest more than ever this year.  It's going to be a great staycation...perfect ideas for using my time wisely.

Not yet I usually take my vacations in July (family reunion), August (mother's birthday I like to take her somewhere and around October or November for my birthday trip.  My birthday is in September but I sometimes take the time later.

Yes I have. I used a day to work on my night job because the project was paying really well. I used three days to see my parents because their health is dwindling. I used one day (yesterday) for my son's high school graduation (mostly clean up). That takes me down to thirty five days left. I am taking off for three to five days in July for a concert and maybe three days in August to help my daughter move from the sorority house to a rental house and my son move from home into his dorms. I will probably use two days at Thanksgiving to help with the beast preparation which will leave me with about twelve left to burn as I can carry ten days into the new year. I am pretty sure I'll burn a few more days with lucrative evening projects.

I have used a couple weeks already when I went to Utah to my uncle's funeral and was actually sick a few times with bronchitis. But I still have a few more vacation days left that i'm saving for my wife and son's school graduations.

I've only used a few days thus far at the beginning of year. This is unusual for me as I usually try to take a break about every other month to look forward to something. Work just has been that busy.

I do not get vacation time with my employment, it would be nice though. We do get sick time and personal days that come in very handy, especially when you have children.

I don't have traditional 'vacation time'.  But I am going on a number of vacations this year.  Going to Miami in July.  Going to Las Vegas and on a Caribbean cruise both in September.  And I am considering adding a few more.

I have not used any vacation time myself. I need to get one that because my company doesn't let me accrue too much at the end of the year.
