Vacation Plans?

betenoire · 04-02-2011, 06:35 PM

I'm going to New Orleans either in October or November or December.

I initially wanted to go in October, but I just found out that if I go from late November through early January I can get a pretty hefty discount from the hotel chain that my new job is at. (We're talking like $50 a night for a $200 room) (Mind you, the discount is pretty sweet the rest of the year, but it's twice as sweet from November-January)

So November/December is looking pretty sweet right now.

I haven't been "on vacation" since I went to San Diego in 2006. It's fucking time.

So, like, can your friends get discounts at your hotel chain?

I would love to go on vacation. Haven't been on one since I went to Portland in 2001.

But...will not be in the cards anytime soon. Moving this summer and cannot take any of my 20+ days off from the new job for 6 months after I start (boooooooo!). I do have a conference I will have to attend this fall, not sure which one "the Man" is going to send me to, hopefully somewhere warm.

Well, at least your "Man" is sending you somewhere. I have to use vacation time and pay for my own conferences to keep up my social work license in order to do "the Mans" work!
