MR/vacation combos are more what I do, though they are short vacations (a day or two).Of course they screw up the bottom line CPM calculation but they are quite wnjoyable and allow me to see many places. I figure I'm already there, why not leave a day later and do some exploring?
But hey, YMMV.
If you are outside of the MR box as described above,
it is not because you leave a day later and do some exploring!
It might be because you choose the $5.40 gasoline/vacation fare instead of the lower cost one.
And who says there is anything wrong with going somewhere for a vacation?
