On Vacation...
Anyone else been/going away?

We were in Puerto Escondido Mexico for 10 days visiting a friend who lives there ... no internet, no e-mails, no TV, no movies, etc... just livin' life and loving it...

Just checking my e-mails and what's been going on here at ehMac and I am already ready to disconnect again... so much snipping and pettiness...

A little time away/disconnected provides a lot of perspective on what is really important... soon enough I am sure this perspective will wear off...

Just got back from a very relaxing 10 day cruise in the Caribbean. Checked my emails once a morning, but otherwise was pretty much disconnected. Really enjoyed it. Ready to go back.

Heading to Barcelona in 10 days. Cell phone and laptop will travel with me, but I generally stay off most forums when I'm travelling.

We did 32 nights in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, early-December to early-January. Haven't been back very long according to the calendar, but almost too long in how we feel about it!!

I keep trying to take a break from my vacation to get a little work done. Been retired now for 10 years, 6 months, 26 days, four hours and 11 minutes, but who's counting?

I have had exactly one vacation of 7 days since 2003. Other than that just single days off.

Was that your choice, or someone else's?

That's as bad as me! (Worse... I took 8 days in 2009). Presumably you enjoy what you do, but a little time off probably wouldn't kill you.
