¿What is this "vacation" time of which you speak, sir? My daughter is coming over for a long weekend in June, but apart from that I'll just play it by ear, as usual. | | | Haven't thought about it yet | Apr 9, 2017 |
I'm in the middle of a six-week translation job and I'm committed to another client through June. Spring has sprung; life is good. I don't need to "get away from the daily grind." | | | Haven't thought about it yet! | Apr 9, 2017 |
I take quite often a few days off here and there between jobs but this is the first free weekend I've had in a while (since early December) and I expect next week to be very calm because of Easter. Anyway, I'll just play it by ear, as usual. | |

planned till September. | Apr 9, 2017 |
Having kids and a wife who needs to submit her vacation plan well in advance, we have already planned our vacation until September. This way we have saved a bit of money thanks to some offers for those who reserve well in advance. | | | Michael Harris Germany Local time: 08:30 Member (2006) German to English Holiday, do you mean? | Apr 9, 2017 |
Yes, my wife is forcing me to two weeks on a little island next to Mozambique early summer.

That is taking 1 - 2 weeks off in September, but taking my laptop with me. Therefore, it can't be called a vacation, only time away from home. | | | Just one week | Apr 9, 2017 |

but I have signed up for a couple of translators' conferences. Real summer vacation I have not planned on; it will probably just be a few days here and there. Like someone else mentioned, being a freelancer you are not so desperate to get out a daily grind. | | | Mario Freitas Brazil Local time: 03:30 Member (2014) English to Portuguese + ...
I can't really plan vacations. The best time would be from December to February, as the volume of work is lower, but it's also when the prices for tourism as doubled.
