Thought about it (motorcycle) but the chance of thunderstorms made me think twice.
It would take me a couple hours to get to work on a bicycle, which I did 40 years ago.

I bought a new bike in January, but now it's June. Did you see the earlier post about 117 above?

About 50000 people in switzerland participate in Bike-To-Work[^] during May and June. That's two months! (although for the purpose of participating in the competition you just pick one month)

After waking up after the 21st that cost me AUD$330.00 to attend (not including the present) I have been flat out working and not able to scratch myself.
10 days of the financial year left and every bastard is ringing to get new IT equipment purchased and things sorted out.
Good to be busy, but wish it wasn't a feast/famine sort of thing.

Not for me - for you (as in anyone who reads this). As in "Eat your heart out":
Why? By this time, tomorrow, I'll be awaiting takeoff for Here^. Eight crazy nights ahead of me and she.
Consider: after browsing the site so as to further nurture your rage, consider that tipping is strictly forbidden - even at the bars and restaurants. I need not carry money in my pocket the entire time. Now that's a vacation.

Sounds good - but I'd start to go spare after a few days...and come back quite a few Kg heavier...

Well, you paid for it, disproving that old saw "you can't take it with you".*

Meh, I prefer the slight annoyance of having to sometimes prepare food over over not having any control. We'll only have three weeks this year, but there are maybe 100 eating places within a 10 minute walk of the house.
I bet my $0 plus food and drink works out cheaper too.

Foraging for you food and entertainment would, indeed, work out cheaper - unless, of course, you factor in the value of the time used to get it. Not nearly so big a bargain.
They've five restaurants on site (included) that are all much fancier than anything I'd be willing to pay for directly - and open bars - and food available all the time in many handy locations. Even the buffets are great - and typically include food prepared on-the-spot, to your taste (hardly counts as a buffet in some respects).
But the real clincher: you've "ONLY" three week - I have 13 workdays/year, and that would include any personal needs. Reality is that 9 days (eight nights) exhausts the non-committed time pretty throroughly: time off is more precious to me.

Our normal summer is 5-6 weeks, but both Mrs Wife and I have work that allows for this. This year it is curtailed as she can't get away until a week later than normal and then we're moving to her new job at the end of August; a week's drive including stops to visit a few new places.
