Many of my most enjoyable moments are when I give talks, invited by kind colleagues, in places far from where I live. These are not exactly work, but not exactly vacation either. On my current trip to New York I am seeing friends, relaxing, and giving two talks. But doing no other academic work. Nice work if you can get it.
Someday i will take a real vacation
I love visiting conferences too. It's the best way to remind myself that there are people who read the same books as I do and who love talking about them.
