Going on Vacation ?!

It has finally come. We are on a two-week vacation in Mexico. I was madly trying to finish many loose end stuff before taking off...did not manage to get to it all. The race was on, and I only had a few more hours to go, and I was already making compromises: "aah, I can do that in Mexico...am I out of my mind? I'm going on vacation, or am I?"

Right about when I had these thoughts, I got an email from an about.com newsletter with this title: "How to Take a REAL Vacation"...hm, that should be good, I thought...here is the first paragraph:

"Now, of course, we are wired to the gills. If we are lucky enough to escape for two weeks, we bring our BlackBerries and our MacBooks and keep on working. It's less like a vacation and more like someone re-decorated our office to look like a beach."

Guilty as charged (except that I don't have a BlackBerries but rather an iPhone)...I am up before my family is up, so that I can do a bit of work before the day starts out. Sad, but true. OK, I'm not doing it every morning, but still.

Here is to hope that one day soon I'll be able to go on a two-week vacation without my laptop. Hope you are already there :-)
