Vacation - A week to reflect, relax, enjoy

I had some vacation days left for 2007 so I decided to use them all together and take a week off rather than a day here and a day there for the rest of the year, besides they were use em or lose em days...I tried to coordinate getting out of Miami with some friends but it was just not possible so I stayed local and just woke up each day without a real plan (other than my To-Do list which has grown into a multi-tabbed, colored, faceted MS Excel spreadsheet ). On this list I have a plethora of thoughts, ideas, dreams, and wishes to share a few (Move to Italy, Take Golf, Tennis, Italian and Salsa lessons, test drive a new car, a book list, you get the idea..) as you can see the list has no real entrance requirements. I also did a a lot of other little things during my vacation that I just don't have or make the time to do during a normal week like a random drive to no where just for the fun of it or sit out on my balcony and enjoy a sunny day looking at Biscayne Bay drinking a glass of fresh limeade, ok fine it was from a carton...

One thing that happened to me prior to going on vacation was a request from a respected executive of a vendor my company does business with asking me if I would be interested in writing a guest blog entry on his blog. I was extremely surprised and flattered by the request. I am excited at this opportunity and have to approach it correctly. When I return back to work on 11/5 I will seek approval to follow through on this...
