Vacation time!
We’re going on holiday (or vacation as Ryan will have it). I know, I know - we’re right in the middle of finishing up Amigo. But, even web app builders need a pool and some mindless literature to keep them sane. Besides, our developer, Dave, has gone on holiday so none of the tweaks that we need to do to set the beta live will be done until he gets back in a week’s time. Therefore this is a pretty good time for us to grab some relaxation.
I think time out is important. We’re not machines. It’s counterproductive to work, work, work until the work is done, even though sometimes we’d like to. We need time to reflect. A holiday is a time for thinking, for relaxing your mind, for drinking beer and laughing and… for having ideas. The last time we went on holiday we came up with the idea for Carson Workshops, so I have great faith in letting your brain run free.
I think Amigo will benefit from our holiday. Sometimes when I’m very close to a project I find it difficult to view it as other people do. I get so entangled in its little complexities that I can’t step back and do what’s right for the app rather that what’s right for the budget or the timeline. Holiday will solve that. Holiday will give us time to think. Holiday is good!
Have fun! Are you two going to kenya again?
And when will you be back?

This time we’re off to Greece. We’re getting back in about a week. Can’t wait!

Are you going to the mainland or one of the islands? I’ve been to Samos and Santorini which were both beautiful.
Have a great time!

Oooh. While you’re on vacation (holiday?), have some extra fun for Linda & I!

Have fun!
Maybe next time, you would consider Turkey for your holiday. There are lots of paradise locations for getaways. It’s like Greece.
Enjoy your holiday and looking for Amigo!
