Working vacations, doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron?
Well, it didn’t to me this past week as I hung out in Savannah, GA.
I traveled with my dear friend on her birthday trip. I hadn’t taken the week
off; so, I still had to work. However, because I plan for times like this I
have a laptop, a cell phone (that I transfer my business line to), and GoToMyPC.

Armed with the right tools, I set off for Savannah, where
I had a lovely river view from the Bohemian Hotel.
I logged in every morning to check email and work on assignments. Then logged
off, enjoyed the town and all it had to offer. Before I retired for the
evening, I checked email again. My clients knew I was away, and they knew they
could count on me to complete the tasks at hand.

Being a business owner really does afford me the flexibility to work from a variety of places. If
I were an employee, I’d be limited to what my supervisor would deem
appropriate. Now, back at home, I’m writing this post while hanging out with my
hubby at one of his favorite places – the Washington Bible College.I have my laptop connected to their wifi system, and I’m plugging away. The sad
realization is that when I leave here, and go home, no one will have come by to
clean my room, leave me fresh towels, and I’m sure I’ll have to make the dinner
myself. But what a wonderful week of work and vacation it was!

Do you venture to mix the two, work and vacation? If so,
what tools do you use to meet your needs? If not, why not? I look forward to
hearing your replies!
