>>Sounds terrific. I still haven't gotten as good as I would like to be with unstructured or even semi-structured vacations.

The closest I have come are two weeks lazyarsing around New Zealand and then a week and a half honeymoon in Hawaii. Those were relaxing.

Hmm. I can do it in 5 minutes, and not necessarily on vacation.
