I do lots of traveling but my last holiday was ten months ago. Time to get on a plane and go somewhere sunny and fun. After doing a thorough search I ended up with good old Ibiza. Not very original. Still they have the most gorgeous houses (with Wi-Fi) and beach huts that serve your daiquiri on the beach. The vendors have cute gear (I’m always won over by the lace bikinis, pretty pareo’s and nice jewelry) and the weather is a cloud to your left a breeze to your right, just ideal.

Ibiza it is. To really ensure myself of a worry-free holiday Jet and I decided it would be a good idea to switch on an out of office. We would add a cute text, out of office replies are usually so boring. Jet looked up the ‘how to’ on Youtube and we got cracking.

To make a long story short we probably watched the wrong video as everyone I had been mailing for the past half year suddenly received the following mail: ‘Until May 7^th I’ll be on a sunny island with a full glass and an empty head.’ Everyone got one from my daughter’s schoolteachers to the head director of Sanoma/SBS Media (sorry Peter). I was going on holiday and now the whole world knew about it. Thanks to my technical first aid brigade the problem was resolved. To settle my nerves Jet poured us a glass of wine. My holiday had begun.

“Breath in, breath out”, Robin said. “Everything will be fine.”

The great thing about Ibiza is you have Wi-Fi everywhere. I’m not working but I still have my Instagram addiction to attend to and I like to check the numbers for Amayzine.com on Google Analytics so every now and then. There was Wi-Fi but my phone refused to open some apps. The 7-Minute Workout, Double Jinx and Instagram. You would think I was in rehab. I called in the technical troops again. “Breath in, breath out”, Robin said. “Everything will be fine.”

And of course everything worked out. The sun came out and my first strawberry daiquiri was on the way. My out of office may not have come off smoothly but on the other hand my message definitely did. Cheers.
