I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.

There is no question that there is a greater propensity to travel across all segments -- leisure, group and business.

Adventure travel is the fastest growing segment of the leisure travel business. And these X-Prize vehicles are basically the first step for future space-seeking adventure travelers,

...in Aristotle...leisure is a far more noble, spiritual goal than work...leisure is pursued solely for its own sake...: the pleasures of music and poetry, ... conversation with friends, and ...gratuitous, playful speculation. In Latin, the ultimate good is otium — the opposite is negotium, or gainful work.
We have sought too much counsel in the proto-Calvinist work ethic preached by St Paul...during the cessation of work we nurture family, educate, nourish friendships....in loafing, most of our innovations come...the routine of daily work has too often served as...sleep...a refuge from two crucial states — awakedness to the needs of others, and to the transcendent, which only comes...loitering, dallying, tarrying, goofing off.

Everything to do with travel and leisure and theme parks and hotels and casinos is just getting mashed. But I think once people get over their shock and sadness, a vacation might seem like a good idea.

I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything.
