What’s a “vacation”?
I'm one of the lucky ones...I just enjoyed my second anniversary of uninterrupted employment, and was able to take two weeks last summer.
It was my first "real" time off in at least five years, and we took advantage of it. Drove from Dallas to LA/Disneyland (via I-10), then up to Yosemite, Reno, and back on I-40.
The new bridge at Hoover Dam chopped an hour off the route from Vegas to AZ.
