Banff is about an hour north of Calgary. Its supposed to be goregous. I've heard people compare it to Glacier National Park in Montana (?) only a lot nicer...

We were in Banff a few years ago. That's an understatement for sure
Hmmm...
I'm self employed, so there's no such thing as 'paid' vacation.
I just try to arrange my work schedule around my cruising schedule, and hope that in between, I am able to produce revenue to cover living expenses, retirement savings AND cruises.
I don't get a single paid vacation day, I sign a contract every year to work X amount of days, I have several choices. I can take 31 non-work days, 10 non-work days, 5 non-work days or none at all. Of course, the non-work is unpaid.The good part about my job is they split your contract into 12 equal months, so even when you don't work, you're still getting paid. Since it is a school, I do get off 2 weeks at winter break, one week spring break and we go almost year round, so I get off 4 weeks , usually August, in the summer. It works out to about 7 weeks a year.
DH, on the other hand, is self employed and like any self emplyed individual, loses $ when he takes time off. Just think how many cruises we could go on if he had paid time off!
Can I complain and say " Not enough" Actually I get 20 days off a year that works into 4 weeks. This next year I am spreading this into 4 cruises a total of 28 days on a ship
The bad part is my husband has been at his job for 19 years and gets 4 weeks plus 2 floating holidays. He is under a Union and has been with out a contract for almost 3 years and they are threatening to take away possibley 2 weeks of his vacation plus his floating holidays. He has not had a raise in over 4 years and thay also want to reduce his pay by 40%. Trust me his income is not overly high now. So this could hurt future cruise bookings. I think I can still swing next year but if car sales do not get going strong again we will definitely have to slow down our cruising
I am a WAHM ...so I can technically take a vacation when I want...but I can't afford too, lol...
My dh gets 5 weeks a year plus holidays...Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, New Years, July 4th...Memorial Day, Labor Day...his 5 weeks does include sick time though...
