5 things I promise
I promise to do these things everyday that I am on vacation:
- Wake up with a smile and give thanks for being on vacation
- Talk to someone I don't know
- Look at everything with an open mind and eyes of wonder
- Put on a clean shirt
- Do some exercise, be it hiking, biking, kayaking, roller blading, running, swimming or yoga.

Can I quote you on the clean shirt promise? Is showering going to be a regular thing?
Clean shirt - yes. Showering will be regular, but not necessarily daily.
Tim, first off, how do you define clean? One wear, or more wears and no dirt/coffee /ketchup spills? Secondly, can we put money on this clean shirt thing?
