I also wish to have "long vacation". Two of my girlfriend (still single). They got laid off.. but they don't have any financial issue.
one of them went to New Zealand for a year, taking various short course, saying she would just like to try out to live in overseas.
the other - went to Darwin for 3 months, then to Singapore for a month.. now just come back to HK.
both of them are so lucky, got a job in 2 weeks' time.
I wish I would just like them, dump my husband, got the $$ and out for a vacation... then come back, got another waiting for me
