And I love traveling with my kids. It's great to either go to new places and share the experience or go to places where I went as a kid and share that experience with them. Two kids :)

So if you don't have kids and you might end up with them in the near future (5 years) I'd start vacationing now. Paris, Thailand, Argentina I ain't likely visitng those places in my near future. Plus no matter what anyone says its not the same when you have kids in tow. Not even close. Enjoy your vacations now. I make an assumption here, you don’t have kids.

After I get back from CFUNITED, I will plan a mini vacation this summer. I need to go hiking or something. In the city, I forget that the rest of the world has trees :P You are right.

Usually I'm lazy and end up in a motel! There was someone camping in a hammock tent which looked really comfy to me - especially after a few beers... :) Justin and Ben - you guys need to REALLY take a vacation!! And CFUnited doesn't count! :) Ryan - this was only my 4th time out camping on the bike. Usually I’m lazy and end up in a motel!

Its a good retreat. Although my other co-workers think its weird that a programmer would be into motorcycles and camping.

So far this year I've only take 3 non-holidays off.

My issue, though, is not so much one of being busy (which I am all the time), it's a matter of not planning ahead. Right now, I pretty much live like a week at a time. I don't look that far into the future. The idea of planning months ahead for a vacation just seems to foreign to me. As such, when it comes time for everyone else to take vacation, I have not planned anything. That's something that I really have to start doing. I have the same problem (re: taking few vacations).
