Gone Fishing…

I think I need to start planning a holiday for myself… Go somewhere for about a week.. no computer..no cellphone.. no twitter.. no blog.. no media centre.. no disturbances!!
I almost want to cry at the thought of being so third world.. but I do think its time I took a break from technology to recharge my batteries.. Take SexyG with and play with him a little bit.. it will be good for us.. we can neck all day and night on the beach or on a mountain side..
I think I want to go hiking.. I LOVE walking.. and I can do it with ease.. very relaxing.. I will leave fishing to SexyG cos fish are intimidating for me.. scaly bunch..eeeuw!
BUT
This needs to be planned properly.. work is very busy at the moment and I will need to work even harder (or smarter) if I want time off..
Plus.. the kids are end of term with Control tests and stuff.. So I will need to keep that in mind.
*sigh* I can just see this is going to be tougher than I first thought.. I am holding thumbs, though.. because as everyone knows.. running your own business means no time off even if you have been very good …Luckily I have a great team I work with and this encourages me a little bit.
Earlier today I was reading a quote that Sweets posted and thought I would share one which I reflect upon every day..
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Lao Tzu”







We’re in exactly the same (fishing?) boat B
I don’t know if I can do a whole week, but plans for at least a weekend are on the boil. Even just THAT is a logistical nightmare!
I know how you feel.
I am going hiking in Utah for 5 days on the 22nd of Aug.
I feel really nervous.
Haven’t gone on vacation in almost 10 years.
I don’t know why I’m nervous, but I am.
My girl is excited about the vacation (she’s not a blogger).
Just need to relax and go with the flow.
Aaaaah. A holiday. Heard about that once long ago. Must try it.
JustBcoz – I think mine may end up being a weekend aswell.. but I am DETERMINED! demmit..lol
Alexander Morentin – hi there! your trip sounds lovely.. Your nervousness is understandable.. Its scary when you leave comfort zones.. take your cell with (switched off) and just keep it in your pocket.. will make you feel safer and more in touch with your world… Just an idea..
Glugster – I think I heard an echo.. not sure…lol!
But I do think Angel needs to tie you up (not like that!) and chuck you in the boot.. no gps ..no phones.. no laptops.. just music.. the road and you and your girl and the open road.. land where you fall man! land where you fall…
go on holiday, you need it and deserve it, i can’t imagine my life without holidays!!!
you found that quote on my blog? seriaaaas???
Stef – Lol.. no I was sharing one of MY quotes…
oh i could so do with a holiday!!!
Ahhh *stretches back*, just got back from 5 days camping at Oppikoppi. ( http://www.oppikoppi.co.za )
No computers, no blogs just basic cellphone reception, dust, great bands, campfires, booze and a lot of really good friends!
Angel – glugster agrees.. all you need now is rope..
HI rexmanthe – didnt see you sneak in! Sounds like such a jol!.. come back with any new or interesting tattoos or other strange remnants of too much alcohol and non stop parties?
Hahaha no permanent injuries or tattoos as a result of my messy weekend at Oppi. Just good memories and lots of fun and laughter. Of course my camping equipment will always be tainted with the red dust, doesnt matter how much you wash it!
Rexmanthe – I am pleased to hear about your trip.. makes me want a break even more.. As for red dust.. you should try burning it off.. works well..
