    Well. I've been on payed sick leave since early May and will be until October/November.
    Not beeing able to take out vacation this summer leaves me with 30 days of vacation that I can transfer to 2011. I transfer 15 and take cash for the other half. Also while being sick I have traveled a lot to and fro the hospital. I will get all my expences ( gas money, toll gates and parking will amount to about 2500 USD ) back from the state. Gotta love the Norwegian health system. So there You go, Time and travel money

    Congrats,

    After being for so long on a sick leave you really deserve this vacation. I'm happy for you.
    Flyfishing at February in NZ beats the winter in Scandinavia for sure.

    Thumbs up

    That sounds like a good plan!

    I hope you have a great time. Getting away from Norway in February sound like a good idea.

    Wow!
    That sounds like a phenomenal trip.
    Have fun down there.
    I'll be thinking about fly fishing myself at that time, knee-deep in snow..

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    It pays to be off sick in Norway! We had a similar generous disability system in the Netherlands that became unaffordable due to people abusing the system.

    Enjoy your holiday!
