I tried to go on a week long cruise last week (first real vacation in years) and ended up spending a few hundred $$ on internet connections!!
At least I made a couple months worth of $ that week in new contracts to justify it!... and, hey, wouldn't that make it a "business trip tax write-off"??
It's soooo hard to take that much time off when your business and reputation depend so much on personal contacts and responding to inquiries asap. At least when I go to Internext, I know most of the industry is there too!
Cheers!
