Am I the only one who doesn't want to go on vacation? I'll take the time off work, but I'd rather potter around my place, maybe go for some nice walks

Am I the only one who doesn't think vacation equals travel? It just means you don't have to go to work.

That's what I always thought. Or thought it was just what we called stat days since I never got vacation until I got into software. Now that I'm around people in a higher income bracket I discovered we get more than 2 or 3 days off?? And folks are going places like far away, for long periods of time.

I still have not adjusted from this middle class culture shock

25 days off per year is minimum by law in my country. I have 36. Would never be able to afford traveling for 36 days (plus weekends) every year though.
