My musical tastes have changed so much over the years. I'm going to have to do some real heavy thinking to come up with how it all shook down.

Moved to B.C. where I met Todd and at school found REM, Sara M, Tool (still the absolute weirdest concert I have ever attended). I went headlong into the grunge movement with Alice and Chains, Pearl Jam...then finally wised up by getting a couple of phenomenal cds thrown my way at college by you - Morcheeba, Hooverphonic, Delerium. I still listen to the heavy stuff (can't quite lose that headbanger deep inside my brain) but the most played songs are in the electronica range now. Sorry to drag you to that Van Halen concert, brother!! There was such better music out there during that time...but it WAS a good time. AND the lead singer wasn't in a blue n' white skin-suit.

Also, don't you get like 7 weeks of vacation anyway? I think we need to design an experiment to test this: have Matt move to New Jersey.

Airports are INSANE holiday weekends. The major holidays seem to fall on a weekday, by moving it you can put it on a Saturday (a day you already get off). Then you will have the real holiday to recover. I for one will not allow a calendar to dictate my life.Plus this year I got 3 Thanksgivings out of the deal!

However, you do have some big advantages for the "travel holidays": - your core family is geographically "close", within a 4 hour drive - Manduh is generally out here twice a month anyway, so its easier to get together - Matt can't be more than 5' from Manduh at any given time so he's usually with her So the coordination and scheduling necessary is much less than a geographically scattered family, and while time may be an illusion, accrued vacation pay is not. The "travel holidays" are such simply because most everyone has those days off and doesn't have to burn discretionary vacay days for travelling. But I think most people can take advantage of booking dinners and things prior to actually holiday days... Todd, you make some strong points, especially with respect to holidays that are considered “non-travel holidays”. However, you do have some big advantages for the “travel holidays”:

- your core family is geographically “close”, within a 4 hour drive
- Manduh is generally out here twice a month anyway, so its easier to get together
- Matt can’t be more than 5′ from Manduh at any given time so he’s usually with her

So the coordination and scheduling necessary is much less than a geographically scattered family, and while time may be an illusion, accrued vacation pay is not. The “travel holidays” are such simply because most everyone has those days off and doesn’t have to burn discretionary vacay days for travelling.

But I think most people can take advantage of booking dinners and things prior to actually holiday days…
