You are a Realtor.

TOP 10 REASONS YOU KNOW YOU ARE ON VACATION WHEN!

10. You are in the shower and do not hear phantom telephones ringing

9. You stop wearing a watch, carrying the cell phone or setting an alarm clock

8. You actually stop to look up at the stars;

7. You did not bring the cell phone into the shower

6. You are having a cocktail without being afraid a customer will call and catch you enjoying yourself

5. You haven't blogged in a week, lost your standing... and don't care!

4. You have lost your car keys...and don't care!

3. You stop looking at rising gas prices.

2. You are smiling

and the #1 Reason you know you are on vacation is

1. Your cell phone falls into the toilet and the sizzling sound is like music to your ears!

I know I am on vacation when I get three offers in one day. That is the only time it will happen!

Hi Gail, Great list! It actually takes effort to take time away, how sad is that?! I've started leaving the blackberry downstairs at night if I don't I'm tempted to check it all hrs of the night!

Gail, LOL, too cute. Actually, I will be going on vacation with my husband of 27 years the end of this month. We will be going on a trip I won through a home inspection company in this area called Pillar to Post. We are going to the Dominican Republic. It will be the first time in the last 15 years that we will be on vacation without our 5 children. I can't wait. Yes, I will be looking at the stars, the moon, the water. I can't wait.

Gail,

Very Funny and True. By the end of the week you are lucky you can even locate you cell phone and you don't even care where it is or how many voice mails you have!

Have a wonderful vacation!

Gina: We just came back from 12 glorious days in the Dominican Republic. We were in Punta Cana at the Barvaro Princess...that is how I came to write this blog; each day I discovered something that told me I was really on vacation (first time non-real estate related in more than 10 years and longest vacation I have ever taken).

We did nothing but eat, drink Mojitos, dance Salsa and enjoy the sun, sand & surf.

I hope you have a marvelous time!
