Vacation

Today begins my first day of vacation! W00t!
Actually, I started my vacation as soon as I left the office on Thursday (I can’t really tell you for sure because I wrote this earlier in the week).
So I’m trying something new this year. I’ve heard a few leaders in ministry talk about always taking two weeks of vacation when they get the chance. Their reasoning is that you don’t really get relaxed and unplugged until after you’ve been away for four or five days and for most people that’s when their vacation is almost over.
Well, I don’t really have enough vacation time to take two weeks in a row and still have time to take off at other times of the year. However, I decided to try my own version of this strategy. Next week Sara and I are flying to Playa De Carmen to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary in style. Four nights and five days in a luxurious all-inclusive resort. I can’t freaking wait! Sara and I just don’t vacation like this very often.
The last thing I wanted was to be up until 3:00 AM the morning of trying to get out those last emails before heading off for vacation. So I decided that I would take a few days off before we leave for Mexico. Today is Friday and I’m officially on vacation. Sara and I don’t leave until Thursday. Is that awesome or what? I will actually come to church on Sunday where it will be work as usual. However it won’t be filled with emails and meetings, just hanging out with teams and families.
So, I’ll let you know how it goes.
How about you? How do you vacation? What’s been the best, most restful and relaxing vacation you’ve taken?

Rest is coming…

It’s been a crazy busy year, but rest is coming and I can taste it now.
Sara and I had an incredible vacation back in October. We went to Banff, Canada and explored the Canadian Rockies. It was restful, beautiful and so much fun. I love vacation.
The week between Christmas and New Years, Sara and I went to North Georgia to hang out with my family for a few days. Although we were in the midst of battling sickness, it was still pretty restful.
Three days ago I booked a summer vacation. This July, Sara and I will celebrate ten years of marriage. We weren’t planning on doing anything extravagant since we just had a really nice vacation. However, last weekend someone told me about the great deals you can get on Mexican vacations right now. So, I booked a four night, five day vacation at Playa Del Carmen. Can I tell you that I’m so excited?
Here’s where we’ll be for five glorious days.
Okay, I didn’t post any of this to brag, but to share. Seriously, we just booked this 4 star hotel for four nights and paid $1,400. What did that include? Everything. Food. Airfare, Lodging, Taxes and even Airport Transfers. The only money we have to spend is if we want to leave the resort or go snorkeling or jet skiiing or something. There were other 4 star hotels in Cancun where you could do all of this for five nights for under $1000. Swine flu is no longer a threat, so take advantage of the prices and sneak in an amazing vacation!
