Life has been so hectic the passed days. I wish I can take a vacation. Any suggestion for a good place to go?



Life has been so hectic the passed days.
Life has been so hectic these past few days.
In its adjective form, past means “just gone” or “having taken place before now.”  Life has been so hectic the past days.
Passed is in the past tense.
“These past few days” is correct; “these past few days” is wrong. The demonstrative determiner “this” has a singular form “this” and a plural form “these”, and its plurality must match that of the noun that follows it. “This” modifies singular nouns, whereas “these” modify plural nouns. “Days” is a plural noun, therefore, use "these". 

 I wish I can take a vacation.
I wish I could take a vacation. 
When you say "I wish …" you are acknowledging that something you want to happen will not take place, so you say "I wish I could …"
Use" could" after "wish" because it implies that having a vacation is an impossibility as of the moment because of your busy schedule. 


Any suggestion for a good place to go?
Any suggestions for a good place to go?
Any is normally used with plural and uncountable nouns in questions, negative and conditional sentences.
