Are you bringing your laptop with you?

I was asked the other day if I was bringing my laptop with me when I go on vacation next week. The answer? No way. I plan on bringing sunscreen, a bathing suit and camera. That is about it. I learned a long time ago back in corporate that I am not good about the "stay-a-cations". I also learned I was even worse when I owned my own company. I tried to take time of between Christmas and New Years; but the bottom line is that I was always on my email ... and working. Now, there are some people that never shut and pride themselves on the fact they haven't had a vacation in 10 years, but not me. I think it is good to give your mind a one-week reprieve and I think the author of Achieving the Balance Dream (that would be Bo Bradley) would tend to agree with me. With that being said ... Bon Voyage and happy vacationing.
