I’m at 17 years. I’ve traveled to fulfill obligations since, but the last time I planned PTO to go somewhere and relax with no set agenda was 2006.
You’ve got me beat. I’m sorry.
Mine was in 2013. If someone had told me that “being your own boss” meant this, I think I would’ve hesitated.
I guess I’m very different. I went on a trip for a week in May, and have 4 more planned into next year, though I intend to “WFH” during some of them. I don’t want to burn all my vacation time. I’ve worked out a way to force myself to go on more trips for fun and my hobbies.
That said, a trip like this still tends to have some things planned, because you need to buy tickets or whatever in advance a little bit. I am lucky in that I can do this.
I went on a transatlantic cruise just back in May, next month I’m going to Czech Republic to visit my father.
I try to make plans with extended family every year, to go on a cruise, or go rent a house somewhere. We missed a couple years cuz of covid and scheduling, but I’m hoping we come up with something good for next year. I’ve been to several pretty awesome places starting ten years ago, which is when I picked up the strong urge to travel and see things again.
