It is a tradition in many countries for young people to take a "gap year" between high school and college, university, or work. In that year, they might learn another language, volunteer abroad or just visit places they've always wanted to go. But sometimes you need a break way after university. Follow these steps and you're sure to have an amazing "grown-up gap year" experience!
Download Disney Vacation Counters
How many days until your Disney trip? It's easy to keep track with a Disney vacation counter. While many companies offer widgets and tracking gadgets, the best place to get a vacation counter is from Disney itself. All you need to do is download the program, input your dates and you'll be able to tell at a glance how long you have to wait for your trip. You can choose your favorite themes and characters for your counter, so you can see a bit of Disney magic every time you turn on your computer.
Rent a Home for a Hawaii Vacation
Renting a home for a vacation in our 50th state can save you money, especially if you are traveling with family or friends, and it can provide you with a spacious and private home-away-from-home, a conveniently located base to cook meals and relax in between activities and touring the island. You can find a Hawaii vacation home to rent on any of Hawaii's populated islands (with the exception of the privately owned island of Niihau).
Pack for Your Resort Vacation
Travel light! Best tip is to avoid including an item just because it might come in handy. Limit yourself to what you are willing to carry without complaint. Try to hold your personal load to 25-30 pounds. Choose luggage that has transportability, durability, accessibility and security.

Every office has its own set of rules in regards to requesting time off from work. Equip yourself with a little knowledge on your office's rules for off days and craft a plan that will make approaching your boss for time off less intimidating and get you the time off you deserve.
