Vacation Time Leave early the last day or not

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Hometown

I just got back from Key West. I went with a group of friends and my girlfriend. We all went down on motorcycles and stayed for two days. We woke up this morning to find that one of our group got up at 6:45 AM to drive home. I don't know about anyone else but I used to have a problem. On vacations the second to last day I would get the blues that I was leaving the next day. My new girlfriend has showed me another way. I enjoy my time on vacation and as long as I get home by about 6 PM that is plenty of time to get ready for the work week.

Getting back to my friend that left this morning he missed a lot of fun on the way home. We had a good group and had a great time. He got home before noon I ask him why he had to leave so early but the excuse doesn't fit and not worth prying. I use to be that way and found that I work hard and deserve time off. So I was just wondering about the rest of you anyone have to get right home when on vacation?

I never rushed back! but when I got back I loved getting back to my own space! the first thing I do rush to my bed and take a nice snooze in it!!! if there is one thing I wish I can take with me when I travel is my bed, pillow, and my silk blanket!
I think the older I get the more anal I become! I love staying at the Marriott because of their bedding!

 What's up with donask? I think Bob Cares! and maybe he missed him!!!

I never thought about it before but I always return home from vacations between6pm and 10pm. My vacations mostly include a flight somewhere so I start thinking about my workweek on the return flight and usually write things to do down on paper while in flight.

I usually fly back around midnight so that I can savor the day where I've been.
