We make shutterfly books after every vacation. We now have about 50 of them. The kids love looking through them (though this does cause some issues with the younger kids that weren't around when we went on some vacations with the older kids - we are having to repeat some vacations again because of it). I hope this doesn't affect this part of the shutterfly business.

I work for a fortune 100 company that gives us so much vacation time which rolls over from year to year (up to a cap of about 400 hours) that right now I could take off about 7 weeks of vacation. Plus we have every Friday from memorial day to labor day off (paid). And we get a sabbatical every 5 years. The biggest problem I have with vacation time it taking off enough to stay under the cap.

Maybe they are self-employed or otherwise has a job that allows them to take vacations more often.
Maybe the vacation is “just” a weekend-vacation only requiring to take half a day off to have more time for transport.
