Gone are sick days, which are now paid out if unused. All time is considered ‘vacation’, or, now, ‘personal time-off’. The bonus is two more days to the three former sickies. Since all time must be taken off, I am already thinking about when and where to plan my first vacation of 2009. This is, of course, ignoring what may go on in my life shortly into the new year.

I want to take my first in February, before I will be asked to make any changes. Since it is cold, I want to go to someplace warm. I have been curious about going to Mexico, and figure either Puerto Vallarta or Mexico City may be good. I am more an urban crawler than a beach crawler. So, my inclination may be towards the latter, though the beach is tempting. I will have a second Fort Lauderdale weekend in the past. I need to do some more research, especially to determine if it is as safe in either city as, say NYC, London, Amsterdam or Budapest. Plus, the travel accomodations need to be right.
