Buenos Aires – I Long to See You

Published by

on

Has there ever been as wonderful a word as sabbatical?  I work for a large corporation that provides a unique (to corporate America) benefit.  After 5 years of service you are rewarded with 29 consecutive paid days off.  Its an opportunity to step away from work, do something to completely decompress, and come back refreshed.  It one of the many reasons I chose my job.

 

I had been dreaming of my sabbatical since I first started.  Two maternity leaves caused me to postpone it but its now finally here (almost).  In November I will be taking that glorious sabbatical and of course, I will use it to travel.

 

We scraped together all our miles and booked our tickets.  10 days in NJ followed by 2.5 weeks in Buenos Aires.  Me,  my husband, my preschooler and my toddler are the current confirmed travelers.  Now all we need are visas, a place to stay, an itinerary…

 

Make sure to follow along as we plan our trip and go south of the equator to the land of glaciers and mountains, Malbac and the tango.  If you have any good suggestions, send them my way!

 

“You’re off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So… get on your way!”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

    Wow, I have only ever heard of professors getting a sabbatical. That’s awesome.

      I hadn’t either until I joined my firm. We are one of the very few that do.

      It really is. And it creates a great culture because everyone talks about what they are going to do on their sabbatical.
