Well, stick with me for a minute and I share with you a point that I believe you\u2019ll understand.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I headed off on another vacation after welcoming my house sitter family and introduced their shephard to my doberman, Sierra.<\/p>\n
(They\u2019re already best buds!)<\/p>\n
Sierra cracks me up. She knows that when my luggage comes out, I\u2019ll be leaving and stays with my suitcase(s) by the front door.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s hoping I\u2019ll take her with me!<\/p>\n
I had to snap this picture.\u00a0 I was all loaded except for my computer bag and she\u2019s right there in line to go.\u00a0 Too funny.<\/p>\n
She\u2019ll have a good time with her new friend and my house sitters are animal lovers.<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s how our first travel day went\u2026<\/p>\n
We had non-eventful trip to the airport from my home to Nashville (about 1.5 hours) because we\u2019ve been there so many times, we know the route, we know the exits to take and the lanes to be in to arrive without a hitch.<\/p>\n
We boarded a flight from Nashville to Washington, changing plans and landed in Albany, New York. We arrived without with a hitch.<\/p>\n
So far, so good.<\/p>\n
At the Albany airport, we rented a car and headed out with our map I printed out from Mapquest.<\/p>\n
We only had a 38 miles to the Wyndham Bentley Brook resort in The Burkshires, Mass.<\/p>\n
However, we had a glitch.<\/strong><\/p>\n Half way there we came across a toll road and when we passed through, we had 2 choices of highways to take, neither of which were reflected clearly on MapQuest directions.<\/p>\n (I know, we should have opted for the Garmin).<\/p>\n Anyway, we found ourselves 30 miles out of our way and realizing the turnpike was not exit friendly it took us forever to turn around.\u00a0 Ever done that?<\/p>\n We called the resort who informed us we were heading in the wrong direction, found an exit and they brought us in through back roads.\u00a0 What should have take us 45 minutes from the airport to the resorts ended up taking 2+ hours.<\/p>\n During this little mishap excursion we had two choices. One was to get upset, the other was to sight see and make the best of it. Turns out we saw the most charming little towns, a couple of which we want to come back to this week to look around.<\/p>\n Once we settled in, we wanted to head to the grocery store to stock up for the week. (We have a travel club membership that allows us to stay in beautiful timeshare resorts without having to own the timeshare. I love this membership.<\/p>\n Anyway,\u00a0 we\u2019re here for the week and it\u2019s a fully furnished condo, 2 bed\/2 bath, washer\/dryer and full kitchen.<\/p>\n We brought our clothes, our laptops because we can work from anywhere and food and just \u2018move in\u2019.\u00a0 This is how you can live your life on vacation.<\/p>\n While we\u2019re here, I\u2019ll be playing a lot and working some.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Well, because we are rural where we\u2019re at, the base of Jiminy Peak Ski Resort, it was 20 minutes into town.<\/p>\n As the sun was going down over the beautiful forest of Mt. Greylock, we headed back into town to pick up groceries for the week.<\/p>\n We found one of those grocery stores where they also were full service deli\/bakery\/wines and cheeses\/seafoods\/specialty foods and well, it was fun to pick and choose so many of our favorites.<\/p>\n We loaded the car and headed back to the resort.<\/p>\n Only now it was raining and super dark.<\/p>\n And we missed our turn.<\/strong><\/p>\n For the second time today, we were turned around in an area that is not well marked.<\/strong><\/p>\n We arrived back at the resort an hour later, by 9 pm I grilled some fish, steamed some veggies and hit the hot tub.<\/p>\n As I pondered about the days events a couple of thoughts popped into my mind in how it relates to business.<\/p>\n\n
