You're right... you have to pay for vacation.

I'm in the process of working on a 3 month TDY in Dublin. Granted I still have to go to work every day but I get paid to live somewhere else, learn the culture, drink the beer and expand my horizons in general. Not only that but it actually increases my marketability.

and you dont do work on a vacation. The work I do, there is a good amount of travel to Hawaii (not htat i have ever gone) when I ask a coworker how it is, and how hawaii was, he says ....it looked good from the window of the hotel.
Basically to him it was just a 12 hour commute

Ireland is one of the few places I do really want to go to. Love the culture, love the music, the people and no language barrier
