14 business days (23 days total) for my honeymoon. Went to Santorini & Mykonos in Greece, Nice & St. Tropez in France and Positano in Italy. Best trip of my life 😊

Longest I’ve done was 18 days. I did a road trip with friends going to concerts and amusement parks - we had like 3 things planned, the rest we winged it. We drove from Indianapolis to San Antonio during one portion. True adventure. Later in life me and my wife have gone to Banff National Park in Canada, we go for a week and sometimes add more time. Absolutely beautiful and we go in the summer and stay in the same small town each time, Canmore. Beer, mountains, wild life, nice people, highly recommend it.

I come to learn most places have "unlimited PTO" capped at certain days

I've tested this LOL 😆

As a result they changed it to "flexible PTO" 🤷‍♂️

But anyway, go to Japan 🇯🇵 or Puerto Vallarta/ or Cancun Mexico 🇲🇽

Traveled to The UK and France for almost 3 weeks. London, Bath, Stonehenge, Canterbury, Leeds, Dover, Paris.
