    my work has traveled quite a bit. it came with me to hawaii for a week long vacation, and it came with me to mexico on the beach...and it even had surgery. when i was in the hospital recovering from knee surgery i was plugging away like a good worker bee.

    I don't get to travel much anymore, but I must say I am guilty of checking my work email while I am on vacation. So Baltimore and Gatlinburg.

    i really can't say as i've ever answered work emails on vacation yet

    my work is going to take me overseas this month but that's actually FOR WORK not pleasure

    i really try not to log into my work account from home because if i see something stressful or if a problem arises i don't want it to detract from my mental holiday

    i did do some work/school-related stuff on a trip to whistler though but that was more like responding to a coop job interview email and then preparing for that interview

    oh and i've done school reading on a plane trip to hawaii but not a lot

    I work for a very very small company (me and the boss man) so my work follows me everywhere, Ireland, England, France, Hawaii, A cruise in Alaska, Yellowstone, and most recently Disney World. It's a trade off, I get all the vacation time I want (within reason of course) but I just have to be accessible. Works for me!

    I just had 2 weeks off and started a new job *today* so I managed to not work for anyone but myself over the holidays.

    Fortunately, my vacation is my work's vacation. But I have taken work to St Croix. I got so upset when I found out the side of the hotel I was on didn't have wifi.

    No gem but that is nice to know. I haven't taken a true vacation in 2 years.

    What were you working on, Savvy?

    I check my work emails at home ... but then again, I also check gossip sites at work. I think I have trouble compartmentalizing.

    I can't take my work home (that'd be pretty scary...I definitely do NOT want live bacteria cultures in my house!), so the farthest it's been has been in the lab.
