Whatever a vacation is to you I think it should include a little bit of relaxing time without distractions. The distractions include, phone, email, internet, work..etc. Just some time to really take a deep breath long enough to enjoy the exhale. Hear your heart beat and ponder the next years tasks. Most days we get to caught up in what's next and not enough of really enjoying the moment.
I relax and listen to the waves crash as I wonder if this is really a body double for Heaven.
