Can you say VACATION?
I'm at one of those internet startups that promised sabbaticals, 4 weeks once every 5 years. Long story short they canceled the future sabbaticals but if you've been there long enough you still get your first one. I will have earned mine April 3rd (knock on wood). I'm thinking about combining it with several weeks vacation and taking the entire month of August and September off.
Some things I'll need tax refund money for (along with other savings of course):
-Lodging, entry fee and expenses for the Top Gun Marlin and Tuna Shootout at MV
-Lodging, entry fee and expenses for the September portion of the MV Derby (a tradition with me, but I'll be staying longer this year)
-Lodging and expenses for a late October/early September week on Block Island (usually just a weekend)
-Expenses for several overnight trips in August from Southern Maine to Long Island
I was actually thinking about renting a larger boat that I could live on for the month of August. Anyone ever do that? I found one in my price range but it was a trauler with a max speed of 7 knots, very comfortable though at 40 feet. I'm looking for something that would be comfortable to live on but would be able to make a canyon run in a reasonable amount of time.
I welcome any other ideas on how you would spend that kind of time on the vacation of a lifetime? Not intending to hijack this thread, but I think that kind of goes along with the intended subject.
