Vacation Destin = Success
As most of you know, I just got back from a wonderful family vacation in Destin, FL. Destin is one of the most beautiful beach towns I’ve ever been to. I loved it and James and I had such a great time with my family. If you haven’t seen the Moxie Mo Show (episodes 8 and episode 9), please check them out as they show why Destin is called the Emerald Isle.
I wrote an article on Culture Feast before I left on vacation explaining why I was so stressed and why I was in such need of a vacation. My fear, initially, was my vacation would just cause more stress to my already stressed out life. I just started a new job with Fossil as a Sr. Recruiter and prior to starting, life was a bit complicated and super anxious due to uncertainty with where my career path would take me. I started a wonderful, new job and then knew that I would be leaving for Destin which caused my stress to go even higher because I had a lot to do, professionally and personally.
I’m happy to report that I feel refreshed, happy, relaxed and fulfilled (and have a nice lil’ tan going) and I must give all the props to Destin. It’s truly a GREAT place to vacation (family, children or even just yourself) and if you have any questions about the locale, please feel free to email me.
I appreciate all of your comments and emails and tweets and I appreciate you continuing to come back and support my blog as well as my new venture with the Moxie Mo Show. We have over 1,000 people who have downloaded the podcast in iTunes and I couldn’t be happier! I realize these numbers don’t compare to Geekbrief, PopSiren or even PhillyD, but they all had to start somewhere, right? So, if you like the show, do me just ONE FAVOR and tell a friend to subscribe to the Moxie Mo Show!

Yeah I know what you mean, sometimes you’re not sure if a trip will cause more stress than it alleviates! But I’ve found that how you FEEL on a trip has a great deal to do with your own expectations and demands on a trip. How willing you are to let the trip flow.

I am ready for my vacation. My Wife and I leave Friday night for 4 days with her brother in San Diego, California. We return to Orlando, FL on Tuesday. Then Wednesday our real vacation starts on the beach of Don Pedro Island (south west Florida) for the rest of the week.
Jeff, I know you love Destin. But Don Pedro is great. We went last year and we were the only ones on the beach. It is a small island that you have to ferry your car across to (no bridge). It was a blast!!!
