Pack and go.  Oh, and tell hubby he can call you any time he needs to vent about being overworked, just not during nap time or happy hour. 

Hi Kathy,

I`m not going on vacation anytime soon, but I too, wondered how I would be able to take care of my orders if I were to go on vacation.  Usually, I ship out the very next day after my customer places an order. But if I`m not at home, I wouldn`t be able to provide the fast delivery as promised. 

So I was thinking, I would probably offer a good discount for customer`s ordering the week I`m gone. I would probably tell them, orders will only be processed after this date.  As a way of thanking my customers for their kind patience, I would offer them a discount. That way, I can go on vacation without worrying and my customers can get the discount. We both win. 

Would that be a good idea? I`m curious to find out what others think of this.

Oh yeah, how did Vince post about his vacation?

Sometimes you have to sort of force yourself... you can even go somewhere local ... say 150-200 miles... with internet access so you can keep in touch and aprised. It`s just so easy to put off taking time for yourself. You aren`t too far from the Great Lakes are you? Have you ever been to Madeline Island? There are stacks of nice places along the west coast of Lake Michigan.
