My company has the following leave policy: If you take a week's vacation and then, the following week are ill without returning to work (Mon & Tue say), the extra days will be deducted from your vacation / holiday balance rather than your sick leave. Is this legal? (This is for both UK and USA offices so responses from either side of the Atlantic invited.) [more inside]

I'm going to be in Tucson from 24 Apr to 14 May. I'll be working during the week, won't have my own transport, and will be staying near the main interstate (just south of the centre). I'm thinking of getting on a Greyhound Fri 6 May and going to Phoenix for the weekend. Any other suggestions? I like wandering round cities, looking in shops (especially books + music, since these are not easy to find in Chile), and museums of art/design/craft. But I'll have my laptop, so if there's a cool place to just sit around in and program one weekend, that could be good. Live music might be an attraction too. Oh, and during the weekdays I'll be up in the university campus. Thanks!
