It's not always that easy, although it's the choice I've made since 2010. I live in Alaska, so I'll blow most of my vacation time just trying to get to and from Washington State (although that's exactly what I did this past summer).
Unfortunately, I may soon have to choose between being unemployed -- or at least, employed at a significantly lower wage than I currently receive -- or getting back on the airlines, as I may not be able to avoid work-related travel within the state much longer, and most of the state does not have road access. At least in the winter, I can take a dog sled :/
