In a similar vein, I've taken to traveling over the July 4th holiday every year now. For many people, it can be a very long weekend, or is easy to turn into an entire week+ trip. It's not really celebrated outside the US (except for maybe a bar or two, go get one drink with the expats and have fun for an hour), and I don't find the celebrations back at home to be particularly fun anymore. Plus, with the way it falls at the edge of a month/quarter/fiscal year for some, it's likely a slow time at work anyways. This year with it falling on a Thursday, you could probably take off 6/29 to 7/7 and barely miss any work.
