No matter how much you enjoy your job, you need a break to recharge the brain and give your muscles a rest. Besides its nice to get away and see some place you havent seen before or some place youd like to see again. My location choice for this years vacation is San Francisco. Ive been there before and I love the city. I also have friends and relatives living in that general area and it will be nice to see them again. When people close to you live so far away, its extra nice to see them whenever you can. Either because of lack of funds, or because time was just too short, I havent managed to squeeze in a vacation in so long I can hardly believe Im actually going. Oh, I know I was off work for two months recently with a broken leg, but sitting with your leg in the air and taking a vacation are two different things entirely. If I know me, when I get back, I will talk about my vacation until next year.
