I would rather be on a beach with a reasonable number of others than on a packed one. I would rather the parking lots and restaurants not be full and long lines waiting. We have months of good vacation times why would everyone go at the same time.

Yes, their system does sort of make people take their paid time off.

Actually, I might rather be in an open office than a packed beach. At the beach the sand gets all up in your business and you are subjected to cancer causing radiation :-)

I’ll go climb a lonely mountain.
