Working Vacations
Packing for Travel
Computer Travel Bag
Unfortunately, many of us have to check in on projects at work while we are on vacation. It is impossible for many of us to step away from the office completely for two weeks. Working vacations have become common place in today’s technological age. Efficiency is key in minimizing the time you have to work while on vacation. Access to the internet along with telephone access is a must. Be sure to verify that your cell phone service is capable of international service if you will be vacationing out of the country. It is also important to have access to all necessary documents related to your project. This does not been taking paperwork along with you, it simply means being able to gain access remotely. Packing all of your work related items together is a good idea so you won’t have to waste time searching for them. A computer travel bag to carry your laptop, blackberry and/or cell phone, charger, power adapters, voltage converter (if needed) along with other work related items will come in handy. While many of us have to combine work with vacation it is important for us to remember that in order for us to be effective in our careers we must take the time to relax and rejuvenate. In other words keep work to a minimum and enjoy your vacation.
