Yup, the whole month!!! You must understand that I'm a bit of a workaholic and usually bank lots of overtime during the year. Since we don't get paid for overtime, my time off is in lieu and my holiday time never gets used up. Well, HR is starting to get upset about it so I had to sit down today with my boss and we both had to figure out a plan to take 60 days off this year. If the Canadian dollar was better I'd stay for 2 weeks, rent a car and drive up and down the coast, but as it is I think it will be a week at the most.

Hi Captain, since you are a day ahead, pull up a chair and let us know what's going to happen I think it's great you are going to have a BBQ on the same day. We'll have to coordinate a time when we can all toast each other.
