Hey everyone,

I have been reading/learning a ton about bike touring recently and it seems like most stories/threads are about really long tours where the people have time to do as they wish. This is awesome, but I was wondering for those who have a career and the (standard for Americans) ~2 week vacation per year, do you go on one trip as long as possible or more short ones? how do you balance your touring with your career? for those who do get to do long tours, do you have no job/career? what allows you to tour?

I love the idea of going on a tour which has little to no time restrictions but don't really ever see this happening without quitting my job which isnt likely. I'm sure others wonder this as well..

thanks
