During a family trip overseas a few years back, I didn't code. We went to a 3-star full board hotel in a warm climate by the sea.

My favourite memory from that holiday is of myself, wife & son playing all day long in the approx 2m swell on the beach.

Last year, my wife & I were to go on an adults only holiday, 5-star all inclusive, right on the beach. She unfortunately couldn't come, so I went alone. My daily routine was breakfast, swim in the sea, comedy podcasts until the bar opened & then sit under a tree writing code & steadily drinking free beer (coding the way coding should be done...).

I don't have anything near the same level of memories, but the point of the latter holiday was to unwind & de-stress. I did that successfully.

Different type of holiday, different activities, different memories.

Both were very good holidays.
