    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.

    That sounds like a good plan!

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

    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!

    Greetings from NZ.
    February should be a great time to be here and enjoying the fishing in the South.
    Hope you have a great trip.
    Don't do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics!
