Are holidays becoming more expensive and out of reach or are we overstretching ourselves financially so that we canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t afford one? Are we so caught up in the game of corporate life that we have lost the ability to see life outside of work? Have these people lost touch with reality? Do they not value relaxing or taking a break? Maybe their bosses have them so embroiled in their business that they feel that they are not expendable and have to keep working?
Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve had mine and will continue to do so. Letââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s start to value life.

I've not actually gone anywhere on holiday since a trip to Prague last September. I do value life, & I do value time off. It's generally a case of not enough money, not enough time, & no one to go with anymore.
I've taken this week off work...not going anywhere, but good to have a break nonetheless. 'Till this week, I'd only actually used 2 days of this year's holiday allocation...So, after this week, I still have another 18 days to use up by the end of the year.
