For me, the thing about vacation is precisely that I want to stop all the running, not just "transfer" it to a new location! I have never been able to fathom the purpose of taking a holiday that

We definitely need to unplug... and "getting away" is actually good for productivity. I think most European countries have a much healthier approach than the USA. I don't know how it is in Canada...

Thank you @diosarich! Stay safe, over there!

Thank you!
