Last week my wife and I spent 7 days in Kauai. It was fantastic. Sun. Sand. Waves. Awesome golf. True relaxation. Delicious mai tais. It was the perfect, well-deserved break from the action that both of us needed.
While we were there I had plenty of chances to think about, well, nothing. And it was glorious!
For once my brain wasn’t preoccupied with things I needed to do, goals that I needed to meet, blog posts and tweets I had to write, and schedules of conference calls and meetings I needed to attend. Instead, if I allowed my brain to do any thinking at all it I thought about how important is is to get away from the every day grind of trying to run a business and do a total brain reset.
My wife and I travel a few times a year, but it’s usually to see family. This is the first time we had been away alone without anything to do since we got married almost three years ago. As we reclined at the beach or the pool (picture of the beach we stayed at in Poipu below) we kept telling ourselves, “We have got to do this more often!”.
