Lykos · 01-05-2009, 01:48 PM

When i said real one,i mean like DON'T touch your laptop for 2 weeks or 10 days or something....?? I am going to vacation even twice a year some year but am always on laptop at least 2-3 hours per day

Cyndalie · 01-05-2009, 01:50 PM

I spent 4 nights at my inlaws over the holidays away from work and the computer. It was with family but I have a baby so I had help and it was free

Other than that it was last april when I went to FL for a week to visit my family (with a 3 month old infant).

Michael O · 01-05-2009, 01:51 PM

Longest vacation in 3+ years with no computer, no checking mail or anything is 3 days.
Even when I am on vacation I have to check email and boards just to keep up to make sure everything is OK, can't stay away

czarina · 01-05-2009, 01:53 PM

real vacation: no family visiting, no computer, no work... 7 years ago when I went to Panama.
Next week I'm going on my first real vacation since, but it will be a short one, just 5 days.

I'm seriously needing it... I've been a little stressed out and grumpy

Blaming it on the work overload, and hoping the vacation will bring back the old Czarina!

Tom_PM · 01-05-2009, 01:53 PM

Seriously? I havent actually taken off, gone somewhere.. for vacation.. since I was a kid.

When I had my heart attack and was in the hospital for 4 days was the longest time spent offline in forever.

John-ACWM · 01-05-2009, 01:53 PM

Without a laptop?...I can't even remember

PersianKitty · 01-05-2009, 01:55 PM

er... away from laptop? Had to have been summer 2002. Camping in Yellowstone.

Since Persian Kitty began in Sept 1995, there have been exactly 20 days that I have not personally updated the site myself.

Yes, I'm very anal and controlling.

About 3 years. I spent 2 weeks in NYC with my best friend, and although I did have my laptop with me, I only used it for getting directions, buying tickets for shows, etc.

Spunky · 01-05-2009, 01:57 PM

I take a few weeks off every year but still can't seem to stay ofline for too long

Antonio · 01-05-2009, 01:58 PM

had 3 days off the Internet around Christmas, then 2 days fo New Year, going for 5 days to London - no computer, no Internet, nothing, something tells me that when I come back I'll find half my sites down haha

uno · 01-05-2009, 02:00 PM

Besides shows, the last "vacation" i was on was 3 days last june at the Jersey Shore in Wildwood.

Lykos · 01-05-2009, 02:04 PM

Damn,all like me.... fuck,we are slaves of our work

hahmike · 01-05-2009, 02:15 PM

Impossible. Anyone who feels confident in stepping away from their business for 7 days, 2 weeks or whatever doesn't fucking have one. That is a fact, no exceptions. TGP smacktards don't count as business owners, minimum 6 figures pa and a registered company, sorry.

The closest thing I get to a vacation is 10 minute breaks in front of the computer throughout the day. The rest of the time I'm maintaining shit, calling suppliers, running errands, and calling chinese whores for a quick $20 bbbj. It's 6:15am right now and I've been flicking between this board and youtube for the past 10 minutes, so I gotta get back to work. Compared to a lot of people, I have it easy...

spacedog · 01-05-2009, 02:22 PM

such a long time ago

This summer though.. fuck.. I'm disappearing for a month..

2005.... My computer is eating my soul

CurrentlySober · 01-05-2009, 02:38 PM

Mid October. I had a complete burn out, and just DID NOT WANT TO WORK... I went down to Cornwall for about a week. Stayed in a nice hotel, and went walking on the beaches...

No laptop, no phone, no nothing... And when I came home... I felt a lot better... Before that it would be a cruise to the caribbean... In about 1994!

I work WAY too much LOL

Even on vacation, I still have to check in and do some little bit of work. My assistants can't do everything, and I have to make sure there is no errors or some shit effecting sales. But I keep it to below an hour a day when on vacation.

That said, I was on Disney vacation beginning of December 2008. It was nice. Disney makes it feel like you left the rest of the world behind, and are in Disney World... literally.
