Vacation Recovery
August 23rd, 2010
Upon inquiring how a friend’s travels went, how many times have you gotten the reply “I need a vacation to recover from my vacation”, or something along those lines? I know I’ve uttered this phrase more than once. I often find that I keep myself just as busy on vacation, if not more so, than I do in my day to day life at home. Why? Because I don’t want to miss anything! As I figure I’m not the only one in this boat (no pun intended for you cruisers), I thought I’d share a few tips of how I’ve managed to return from vacation and still able to function at work that week.
