How is everyone spending time off?

For those analysts who are wrapping up their programs in banking or others who find themselves with a large chunk of time this summer, how are you planning to spend it? I was originally planning on traveling but now that seems off the table given everything happening in the world... still, I’m hoping to use this rare time off productively. Thoughts?
