NEW YORK (AP) - Nancy Kirk doesn't have anything against vacations; she just doesn't consider them worth the effort.
Years ago, when her children were young, she remembers spending a week at a cottage. Seven days of preparing meals in an unfamiliar kitchen and worrying about the kids falling into the lake led her to the conclusion that "there's no rest in this."
So instead of taking vacations, Kirk, 60, who owns an antique quilt and fabric business in Omaha, Neb., works down time into her everyday life — from taking an afternoon nap if she feels like it to occasionally tacking a day onto a business trip for sightseeing.
