I'm at 17 years. I've traveled to fulfill obligations since, but the last time I planned PTO to go somewhere and relax with no set agenda was 2006.

Last year I've spent a week in an hospital... nah, scratch that, it was unplanned and had my work phone with me.

"Planned, just to relax, no set agenda", that must've been sometime in the 1990s, so at least 25 years.

We all had Penn & Teller tickets (totally worth $100 a pop in '06), but the rest of the long weekend was "fuck around in Vegas with our mid-20s livers and cheap hotel rooms we only want to sleep in." My college roommate won his and his fiancee's entire trip costs with five minutes to spare before the airport pickup.

Penn & Teller tickets

That was one of my few reasons to ever want to book a trip to the US... that, and maybe watching some Shuttle launch. Congratulations on living the dream!
