A wise man travels to discover himself.

No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.

A good vacation is over when you begin to yearn for your work.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.

A period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need.

A vacation is a sunburn at premium prices.

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

A vacation is like love – anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort, and remembered with nostalgia.

A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.

A vacation should be just long enough that your boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.

I have never believed that vacations are luxuries. They are our necessities–just like shelter, clothes, and food, they make us feel like humans and not like animals that care only for survival.

If you come home as happy as you leave, you have had a good vacation.
