Because you’ve worked too hard, and you deserve a break

Admit it, you’ve been working too hard. In fact, when people ask you how’s life, all you can talk about is work. Before you sleep, you think about work. Dedication to work isn’t bad, but too much of anything is a recipe for disaster. As much as possible, it’s recommended to take a break once in a while. Too much stress at work can lead to heart related problems, ergo, it can be deadly. For people who are about to reach the point of burn out, or hate their job, a vacation can do a whole lotta good: realize the important things in life, renew your love for your work – see it in a whole new light.

Geocaching

If you’re more into adventure, then geocaching is for you. Geocaching is game for gps users where participants have a cache hunt – and maximize the abilities of their gps unit – while on their rv’s or other vehicles (but more users prefer rvs as these hunts go far and wide). If you have that spirit of adventure within you, and you have a gps in hand, then this is one vacation activity for you.

So many places to visit, so short a vacation. Now remember, you don’t really need an excuse to go on vacation, you know you just want one – everybody needs a break once in a while. Just make sure you’ve had your shots, you’ve made arrangements for your house, pets (if you have any), and of course your work. We don’t want you coming back to an empty house, hungry pets, and a memo at work now do we? Have a happy trip.
