replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie I get the same reaction from work colleagues. “You’re always gone!” No, not really! Four weeks a year. #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW That's a really interesting schedule. So are they weeks you can travel? Or do you need to stay local for some of that time? #PTtravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3: When I used to have a 'real' job, I used to add annual leave days to weekends and do long weekends around Europe. I also chose a 9-day fortnight working pattern, so had every second Friday off - free long weekends! #PTTravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @findinganeish @kate_frankie Lol! It's amazing what a little forward thinking and planning can do with 4 weeks 😁 #PTTravel

A3 #PTTravel Flights and accommodation get much more expensive during the public and school holidays so tend to avoid those days.

replying to @solosoulblogger @solosoulblogger Its pros and cons either way. I used to envy the part-time workers I was friends with when they had time to work on projects they wanted to or just not put the alarm on some days. The flip side was less money & so not many trips actually #PTTravel

A3 at my last job I tried to take holiday combined with red days to get as much holiday as possible but at this job it’s much harder to do that. So can mostly have holiday during the summer. Not used to that. I like to travel in spring and autumn. #pttravel

A3 #PTtravel in my 5 wk schedule, there’s a two week period where you’re scheduled to work 32 hrs. The rest of the time is unpaid. I requested the 32 hrs vacation resulting in 2 weeks off. It’s a very efficient way to use my vacation hours.

#pttravel A3 I don't think we do, just take advantage of all holidays and use weekends - there's a whole load of destinations that you can get to on a Friday night and back on a Sunday evening!

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie I know, it’s weird. Maybe we just do more on our days off. #PTTravel

replying to @RoamingRequired @RoamingRequired No, if they give me the vacation, that two weeks is all mine. In fact, they have a policy of not calling while you are on vacation. #PTTravel

So many interesting things to when you travel to Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos in Cuba. https://t.co/EpG7IiPDfo #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie A3. When I request days off I put in for MWF off to stretch my vacation because they can’t assign me a work trip for one day so it gives me two weeks off only using 6 paid vacation days, weekends and taking 4 unpaid vacation days.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @solosoulblogger Yes, the amount we travel wouldn't be possible without the money Jim and I currently earn - the holidays can be quite hard when you start teaching - loads of time to go away but no money! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel Very true! But it's funny how one learns to find those 5 euros bus tickets to another towns etc.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3 #PTTravel We usually prefer to do sth local like staycation or weekend/day trip to Cotswolds on bank holidays as too crowded at airports
StromfieldAdvs
replying to @RoamingRequired @RoamingRequired 😁😁Yeah, teaching is a good option if you love travelling - we get less in the UK than a lot of countries! You do need some to recuporate but we normally just plan that in the first couple of days of a trip😀 #pttravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs Living near a good airport is such a big deal. If only London want so expensive for a singleton! #PTTravel

A3 #pttravel One place I worked had an excellent system; for every day you worked over a holiday, you got 3 days off in lieu. One year, I signed off on January 3rd and disappeared for the rest of the month.

A3. Make the most by adding on to weekends and bank holidays. @RoamingRequired absolutely nails the annual leave planning part. I'm just lucky she's my better half 💕 #pttravel https://t.co/IISa5YY4WA

@kate_frankie A3: Mostly by stuffing weekends with extra days on either side, choosing to travel off peak and leveraging bank holidays. "MAGIC!" 😊

A3 It's best to fit trips into two-week chunks. At least, that's the max I can get away with. That really separates business from pleasure. #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I work around people with kids because I prefer to miss school holiday time. Too crowded and expensive #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. By not relying on my annual leave or national travels. I try to see or do something new every week with one of my days off, even taking the odd extra day off unpaid to fit it all in. #PTTravel

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @kate_frankie @StromfieldAdvs I can’t wait for your pics! I’ve always wanted to see more of the deep South. Sadly, I think I take it for granted being in my own country. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @StromfieldAdvs @flypdx use to be that way, but now they offer 4 flights to Europe, the fare last have come down a lot. #PTtravel
