Holiday Planz

Australia has more public holidays than any other country in the world.   (Which, of course, I welcome!)  For example, next weekend is Easter weekend.  Easter weekend is a perfect example of Australia’s love of public holidays!
We get Saturday and Sunday off because it is the weekend, and have Friday off because it is Good Friday.  Total days off so far: 3
On Monday, we also get the day off because it is Easter Monday.  Total days off so far: 4
Problem: Anzac day also fell on Monday this year.  Anzac day is similar to Veterans Day in the U.S and it is where Australians remember the people who served in wars and who gave their life for the country.
Solution to the problem: Pretend that Anzac day is Tuesday and make Tuesday a public holiday.  Grand total of days off next weekend: 5.
5=SWEEET!
And 5= enough time for a fun trip to New Zealand. 
Public Holidays ROCK!
