Working and Living on the Beach. My Ideas on Vacation.

I’m sitting in a lounge chair on my back porch, working of course, and my neighbor walks up and says “Man, have you got it made!” I had to say that I did. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I love my job. I’d love to live at the beach, and as long as I can get an internet connection, I can work. I can work from just about anywhere in the world! How awesome is that. Not only living like a beach bum, but also making money sitting in a lounge chair on the beach; I’m halfway there!

I wanted to share some thoughts on vacations. I’ve seen a lot of people who are going on vacation who think that they have to get everything in that they can. They have to see this place, they have to eat here, don’t forget to check this out. Now I love to see things, and find out about the history, ad of course eat good local food, but that can really tire you out. What’s the point of going on vacation if you never relax. Some people like to keep busy, and more power to them, but I think that many of those people just have never learned to relax, and just enjoy time. I have a trip I’m planning to Negril, Jamaica over at Yahoo! Travel, and there is not much planned on it. I don’t want to be rushing around to keep a schedule. I want to wake up early, go to bed late, and enjoy the beach, and the Jamaican lifestyle as much as I can. Obviously, I don’t have kids. But my parents did. I was there, I know. We didn’t do a lot on vacation, but then we went to Newport, Rhode Island to see family, so we kids had other kids. The point was not to go see everything Newport has to offer, although it has a lot, but to get to the beach, and enjoy the time we had together. That is a vacation. Not to say that I don’t want to do anything in Jamaica, I just don’t want a schedule to take up all my time.
