| WASHINGTON MEMO; An Unwritten Rule of Political Vacations: Think Domestic WASHINGTON -- Forget the lush beaches of Bora Bora or the Campari-soaked cafes along the Côte d'Azur. And don't even think about Rome or Paris. Astute Washington politicians have long known that when it comes to politically palatable summer vacations, it is best not to cross any oceans. Or even seas. Michelle Obama violated one of this city's most |
| SHORTCUTS; Vacations Are Good for You, Medically Speaking GAS prices are going up, the economy is going down, and it seems hard to justify a vacation when many of us are glad just to have jobs. But now, more than ever, we need to take a break -- a real break, not just a long weekend -- from our stressed-out lives. But, it turns out, even before the downturn, a lot of Americans were working through their |
| JOURNEYS | SWIMMING VACATIONS; Don't Bother With the Hotel Pool WHAT I remember most about a nighttime tour I took of Alcatraz a couple of years ago was the fact that -- given the nearness of the island prison to downtown San Francisco, just a mile and a half offshore -- inmates were often haunted by the sounds of life across the water. When city residents held New Year's Eve parties and their reveling carried |
| COMINGS AND GOINGS; Adventure Vacations That Reach the Extreme Some people want a little more out of their vacation than a fruity drink served poolside. Diving with sharks in South Africa, for example. Or living among penguins for five days in Antarctica. Or paddling in a canoe down a crocodile- and hippopotamus-infested river in Zambia. For those people, the travel company Abercrombie & Kent has created a |
| WORLD BRIEFING | EUROPE; Finland: A Plan For 'Love Vacations' A proposed bill before Parliament would grant Finnish workers, already entitled to 25 paid days of vacation a year and as many as 10 paid public holidays, one more week of ''love vacation'' to reduce, its sponsor said, a high divorce rate and revive passion in a population whose workdays are growing longer. The measure would allow Finns to connect |
| Vacations Get Shorter, But Turn Up More Often For years, Michele Clarke had trouble putting work aside and getting away with her husband and two young daughters for a rest. The last two-week vacation they took was in 2001, and Ms. Clarke, a corporate marketing consultant in Manhattan, worked through most of it on a laptop that her husband jokingly nicknamed ''the beast.'' But for Mother's Day |
| JOURNEYS | BASEBALL VACATIONS; All the World's a Road Game FOR Michael McDonough, vacation-scheduling takes care of itself. ''I block all of my vacation time each year on one day: When the Red Sox release their schedule in November,'' said Mr. McDonough, a 27-year-old public relations professional from Boston. ''Once the schedule comes out, it's straight to the calendar.'' Although the season only begins |
| VACATIONS AND CHARITY To the Editor: Regarding Claire Spiegel's ''Niger: Using Vacation to Help the World's Poor'' (Journeys, Aug. 20): if readers have $4,500 per person (not including air fare) to spend on a two-week vacation helping the world's poor, then I would suggest contributing most of that amount to a reputable nongovernmental organization and then going on a |
| World Briefing | Asia: Kyrgyzstan: Summer Vacations Canceled President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, left, barred government officials from taking a summer vacation as a punishment for not doing a good job. Most officials in former Soviet states like Kyrgyzstan take up to a month off in July or August. But since Mr. Bakiyev came to power last year after a popular uprising, the country has been plagued by violence and |
| SUNDAY MONEY: SPENDING; Trading Places, and Saving a Bundle on Vacations THE summer travel season is here, and many vacationers won't be checking into hotels, inns or B.& B.'s. Instead, they will swap homes with people they have never met, but who live somewhere they want to go. They will hang their clothes in each other's closets, stash their socks in each other's drawers and make coffee in each other's kitchens. If |

@itsohlovato hahaha, OH (: u still have Vacations, do you? :DA holiday is a day designated as having special significance for which individuals, a government, or a religious group have deemed that observation is warranted. It is generally an official (more common) or unofficial observances of religious, national, or cultural significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities.
The word "holiday" comes from the Old English word hāligdæg. The word originally referred only to special religious days. In modern use, it means any special day of rest or relaxation, as opposed to normal days off work or school. The word derived from the notion of "Holy Day", and gradually evolved to its current form.
