As of 5 PM this afternoon, I am officially on vacation. For the next week, I’ll be out on Cape Cod. Most of the time, I expect to be on the beach, resting, maybe reading a little, and swimming and walking a bit. It has been an especially long and hard week, so I’m trying to decide my media strategy for the week. For several years, I’ve managed to get a blog post up, every day, even when I’ve been on vacation. Typically, these blog posts are much shorter, sometimes just a picture with a paragraph talking about it. I’ve often sent some messages to Twitter or Facebook, and checked in on Foursquare when I’ve gone to a really great clam bar.

Now, I’m even more entwined with social media. I won’t be making as much on Adgitize while I’m gone, and it will drop to almost nothing if I don’t blog. My stock on Empire Avenue has done very well, but it is sure to decrease over the coming week. The question is, how much? It will be more of a drop depending on how little I am really involved with social media.

My vacation is going to be fun, and I want my friends to share with the fun. Yet I also want to make sure that social media doesn’t get in the way of the fun.

So, I’m going to take this day by day. Maybe I’ll put up a blog post tomorrow. Maybe I won’t. Even if I do, I might just stop part way through, or this might be my last blog post for a few days, and I’ll post something in the middle of the vacation. We’ll see. Meanwhile, I really need this vacation.
