I am one of those people who needs to leave everything in order to truly relax. As my office is in my living room, the constant pull of work is always only a few feet away. This allows me a ton of freedom and flexibility but also means that I am "on" all of the time. Send me an email and I'll respond night or day. Require some information on a Sunday afternoon and I'll simple pop into my office and get it done.
What this means is that in order to truly take a break and catch my breath I need to remove myself physically. I need to get out of Dodge and get as far away from the temptation to work as possible.
So, at the end of the holidays that is exactly what I did. My family and I booked our Transat Holidays vacation, packed our bags and spent 7 days and nights in sunny Punta Cana at the beautiful Melia Caribe Tropical.
I admit it, I worked. I responded to emails, followed up on a few things and kept in touch. But it all seems a little less stressful from here:
My husband and son in our poolside cabana.
While your family enjoys this:
The ropes course at the resort (they have ziplining and a rock climbing wall too!)
And this:
Pool fun at the private pool for Royal Service members.
And a little of this:
Birthday tennis game for me TEN year old girl!
And, of course, we all enjoyed a little of this:
The silky smooth sand and bustling beach of Punta Cana.
It was a much needed change of scenery and a fabulous way to take a break from the constant pull of my home-based office!
Are you like me? Do you need to "getaway" in order to "get away"?
gawd, i want to be you when i grow up! how fantastic is your job??? :-)
It totally is, Julie! And when things are rough I remind myself of these great opportunities.
Yup..I'm the same. I need to get away to truly feel like a vacation. A few days off at home only makes look around and do stuff. Bah! Can I be you when I grow up, too? ;)

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
