I take a lot of two day trips, though they usually run more along the lines of 30 to 36 hours. No desk for me, but after spending the week doing whatever I have to do, its still a nice break. Although I`ve taken dozens of weekend trips, I`ve never taken a long one- two 6-day rides were the most I`ve managed yet. I dream about it from time to time, but honestly I`m not sure I`d like a month or more on the road. Several years ago I took a 6 week unpaid leave of absense to wander around Mexico on busses. I had a great time, but about the half way point I started feeling like it was enough vacation. By the time the trip was over, I was decidedly homesick and actually looking forward to going back to work!
