How about volunteering? I'm surprised no one has mentioned that yet. You are getting paid for the month right? So your bills are paid, why not go and help out those in need and give back to society if you can.
You never know, it might be worth more in the long run.

ok, 24. career at the airlines until 65.

the next four decades and 10 presidential elections will be spent at an airline.

step away from flying for the month. you may just find a new hobby or make a friend out of the ordeal.

Deadhead down to Guatemala, get in to a total-immersion Spanish program up in the town of Antigua, and get your second language.

If you've got kids, spend that time with them. Seriously.

The longer I'm in this industry the more I find it is the only thing I am forced to do without that I will never be able to replace.

I do this anyway, but definitely a good suggestion. I work with habitat for humanity, and some inner city public school districts.

Good point, thanks for the input!

If I did, I certainly would do this... but I'm still kid free. Thanks!
