My boss called me today and apparently I have 180 hours of vacation I have to use up before the end of the year (darn what a shame)

What should I do? I thought about going on a cruise but I already did that once... Give me some ideas Y'all

Rent a Harley or exotic car in Vegas, ride through nevada, arizona and Utah and return. Did that on a Harley in 2000. 3000 miles in 10 days. Fun, relaxing and got to see part of America that everyone should see - the Grand Canyon.

Other suggestions - riding the Pacific Coast Highway, Alasks, the Florida keys, the abacos islands, London, Amsterdam, Montreal.

Oh man I wish I had that vacation time!!!

Send some this way. My boss is a cheapass when it comes to time off. I barely know what the term means.

If you're able, backpack or Eurorail pass Europe. Go to Budapest and Prague.

Forget "backpacking" in Europe (a misnomer in this former professional alpine guide's opinion), go to Southeast Asia and do some traveling there. Live like a king on $250/week. Go to a new country every week. Rinse and repeat.
