840 hours
Posted by Reeve on January 27, 2008
In 840 hours, barring a disaster or a business opportunity, I’ll be driving from Hilo to Volcano, Hawai’i, where I’ll spend several days in the hills before heading over to Maui for several more days closer to sea level. I’ll be reading, taking walkabouts, taking pictures, and wasting gas by driving to other parts of both islands. A few more days on Kauai is tempting; at this point, it depends. I’ll decide when I’m there, although the real problem may be coming back at all.
I’m on my own this time, and even though I fully appreciate and happily utilize the multiple restaurants, room service, and spa treatments offered by big hotels, I’m staying at smaller bed-and-breakfast-y places. Yes, like Austin Powers, my middle name is “Danger”.
I haven’t taken any time off in a couple of years and my psychic batteries are drained and my psychic RAM is clogged (if you subscribe to David Allen’s point of view). The bottom line is I need to detach myself, and I learned a long time ago I need several days to decompress. It takes me multiple days to decompress and then I can really relax.
Barring a disaster or a business opportunity, of course.
