Looks like you've gotten some good advice here already, but let me just add, as a person just coming off a vacation after the boss, it would be much easier to go at the same time, at least you won't have a ton of work from him while you are gone.



My situation was a little different, boss took off the week of 7/9 and I took off last week, so now I have stacks and stacks of paperwork on my desk, mostly filing, but still, stacks and stacks.  So take it from someone who just did what you want to do, it's no fun and you will take all week to get back on track.  I would think it would be much easier to take a week off at the same time, but that is my opinion.  I have never tried asking bossie for the same week off as him, I don't think our office could handle the both of us being gone, at least for more than a day or two anyway.



But on the upside to this situation, boss is on travel status right now for the week, he has a 4:00 flight out this afternoon, so I only got to see him for about a 1/2 day anyway today, not a bad deal after coming back from vacation.



Hope that helps ya to rethink taking off the same week.  It really is lots smoother that way, especially if the boss is willing to let you have the same week off, I say ditto go for it!



Hope you have a great time on your vacation and enjoy it!
