Vacation time

I'm always down for more vacation time, it's nice to get a break now and then. Sometimes i get so sick of school day after day i need some time off but, I do think we get enough time off in school, we get almost up to 4 weeks off for holidays and other occasions and then every weekend. I think we forget how much time we actually do have off and wish for more when in reality we have enough. Also, let's not forget about the two months off during the summer. I love having time off, but i don't think any more time is necessary. When we get back from summer break, spring break, and winter break it takes a while to get back into the norm. Now if we get any less, that would be a problem. I had to reason with myself that all the time we get now is enough, if we ever got any less i would go crazy.

As for those who work, my parents, i can't really decide if that get enough vacation time, I'm not them. But being that they only get two weeks, i think they should get a little more time. Since they work year round i think it's fair to them to to get the four to six weeks other countries get. They work everyday, all day, i would go nuts with only 2 weeks vacation time. So i stand for them on getting more time off from work. When i compare how much time i get off from school and them getting off from work, i feel sorry they only have 2 weeks vacay. I LOVE the summers we have off, and the holiday breaks that they don't have. I can't think of a reason why they shoudn't deserve more. It would also be nice to spend more time with them. When we have off school, it's kind of a bummer my parents have to work and i can't spend time with them. Since i don't see my dad often because he lives up north, i would be able to see him more often if he had off work the days i have off school. If other countries can get more time off, why can't we?

My dream come true

Wow if someone gave me a plane ticket and unlimited money i would be unstoppable i would go anywhere and everywhere i could, that's really a dream come true for me. I'm really into traveling and seeing other peoples culture and how they live so i would absolutely do what ever i could. First place i would travel to would be some small quiet island and relax for a couple days, soak up the sun, drink a few virgin pina coladas, and meet some cool people. I wouldn't want to stay in a place like "Sandals" or "Beaches" i would want to stay in some little beach house right by the water (maybe buy it since i have unlimited money) so i can get some much needed alone time, i would probably lay on the beach all day listening to music or reading books, swim in the ocean a little bit. Then i would be off to Europe to backpack like i've always wanted and again meet some people, eat the best food, do some serious shopping until i get tired of it, pretty much just explore as much as i could and then go to India. I've always loved India and the culture, everything about it amazes me. The way the people dress, the food, the rituals, it's all so interesting. While there i would probably try to get in touch with my spiritual self and go to temples and meditate all day. I would stay as long as i could then i would go to Switzerland to see the Alps bringing friends along of course. Eat more food then go to Norway with my mothers family because we're Norwegian then Italy with my father's family. At the end of my trip i would go to Africa and see some really cool animals then Australia to learn how to surf. At the end of the three months i would most likely gp back to the US and buy a huge house in California and live life.
