This morning, I returned from the traveling part of workation refreshed and recharged. Tonight, a few more projects to tackle and all in all I considered this to be one of the most productive yet relaxing 4 days I have had in a long time.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Wednesday, I left the Albany area around noon, and made my way down to southern New Jersey. I picked out a general area I wanted to stay in, and found a business hotel with wireless throughout the building. Had a relaxing dinner, and worked for about an hour and a half Wednesday night on a couple projects. Also fielded a few calls from past and future clients.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Thursday, I drove to my next stop, Baltimore, visiting a plaza called The Avenue at White Marsh, and again worked for about an hour before I left the hotel, and an hour at Starbucks before getting in a movie, visit and dinner with friends, and about an hour relaxing in a hot tub.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Friday, I had about a 45 minute drive to Lancaster, PA, the last leg of my “tour”, and worked about an hour in the morning at Starbucks. In the afternnon, I went to see Avatar, and then talked to a couple clients, had another relaxing dinner, and then hit Starbucks for another hour of work before going to see my favorite musician Michelle Branch in concert.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Today, no work until this evening, and I left about 5:30 am to get back here at 10:30, when I fielded a client call on the way home and visited with him to fix some minor issues he was having with his Mac.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
To recap, I was as productive as I would be (if not more) on the road in the minimal hours that I put in as I would have been sitting in my office at home or at the library. I managed to unwind with friends, family, and good food while catching up on movies and sites that I wanted to see.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
My next “workation” is scheduled for a long weekend in February to Florida. I am already excited planning how to relax and be productive at the same time. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
