There are plenty of words to describe this time away from work including holiday, leave, time off, downtime, rest, relaxation, retreat, respite, sabbatical and escape.

Whether it is a quick weekend getaway or an extended trip abroad, everyone deserves a chance to recharge and rejuvenate during their vacation time.
