  I spent three days at Wakulla Springs Lodge last month.  The laptop and the phone were with me, but I was able to truly enjoy a break.

  Have a good time on YOUR vacation!

It seems that if I plan a vacation, business starts to pick up, haha.  Perhaps I should hire an associate, then just vacation and pay referral fees, haha.  When I leave town, my brokers help me out and I do the same for them, when they leave town.
