Well, I’m back. As eventual as ever.
I returned from the country south-south of where I live, and I have not been “influenzed” in the least. I can only assume that alcohol taken throughout an excursion there can be not only therapeutic, but preventative.
I’d like to congratulate the winners of my EventuaLottery, but I’ll do so next entry. Right now (that was difficult to say), I feel that is my duty as your Eventual Productivity Expert to get you “in the know” when it comes to terms that describe that all-important thing you need to take at least twelve times per year: the vacation.
What follows are 30 of the more popular types of vacations one can take. If you have further suggestions, please tweet them to me or leave a comment below. I’ll look them over and eventually dismiss them as inferior, but will leave them up nonetheless.

One of my favourites especially when on a budget is to take a Staycation. Time off work but you stay at home ….and finally get to all those things you don’t get around to doing, like reading the pile of books next to your bed. Staycations are great!
Secondary meaning of “neighcation” – a trip to a racetrack or dude ranch, or any other activity that involves horses.
What about the other way to define “vacationary”… people who love to do altruistic (often religious youth-ministry-related) projects for those less fortunate provided that the less fortunate ones live in a tropical paradise with perfect beaches.
