Today I thought I'd do something a little different. Not necessarily a tip, but something Fun!
I have to say I absolutely love how the English refer to a vacation as a "Holiday". It sounds so much nicer and festive than just a vacation, vacay, road trip...etc. So here is a list of how other languages translate the word "Vacation".What do you call your vacation? Have any special lingo for it?
Language "Vacation" Language "Vacation"
Arabic عطلة Greek Διακοπές
Bulgarian Ваканция Polish Wakacje
Chinese 度假 Romanian Vacanta
Czech Dovolená Russian Отдых
Danish Ferie Spanish Vacaciones
Dutch Vakantie Swedish Semester
Estonian Puhkus Thai วันหยุดพักผ่อน
Finnish Loma Turkish Tatil
French Vacances
German Urlaub
PS - You can imagine how my Spellcheck lit up on this post!

LOL I am impressed your computer even knew what to do with some of those languages (Thai, for example...). I'm not sure mine would even understand it in order to let me paste it into my post!
I like the idea of a "holiday". vacation works for me, too, though. anything different from the same ol' stuff. *grin*
