Without proselytizing on the benefits of taking regular vacations, can we "like" that OP is finally towards one?! ☺️

Coincidentally, yesterday I booked vacation for January as well. Much shorter gap from the last one though.

Disconnect completely. Don’t think about money, work stress, life stress. Order an overpriced cocktail in a coconut. Chill on a hammock. Get lost on the beaches, feel the sand in between your toes and most importantly smile all day everyday. It’s good for the soul.
