your business! No, i dont think i would call them "vacations"..heh!
Some of it is required, some is deductible. Even if it's not, it's still not a "waste" of money. Terps must maintain their skills and know what's happening in the terp profession (changes in certification, state laws, etc.).

As for going to family reunions and out of town trips, well, yeah i would call that vacations myself!
Visiting family and seeing my home state is enjoyable, that's true. Driving up for two days, driving back for two days, and rushing around is not fun. We never get to stay long enough to just relax.

Yes, I remember your thread about that. I hope his health will continue to improve.
