Last major trip (England) we came up with a GREAT compromise. I had a composition book filled with plans that you could do in a day. IE - Day trip to Stone henge, Brish museum, tower of london. Each morning at breakfast I handed the book to Pooch and he picked a planned day. I’m detailed and planning oriented and pooch is not, so sometimes it makes vacations hard.

Caller ID is your friend. Tell them you're going far, far away. Like, into the middle of the ocean or something. :P What she said. Caller ID is your friend. Tell them you’re going far, far away.

No pretending about it. You know the bed will be comfortable, the service to your tastes - and you don't have to pack. One suggestion: Tell everyone you work with that you're going out of town, and <em>do not not answer the phone or check your work e-mail</em> until you "get back." Seriously.

You could do all the stuff that locals never go do unless an out-of-towner comes to visit. And if you can at all afford it, it might be nice to take a day trip somewhere & spend the night at a bed & breakfast. Nothing is as sexy as spending the night in a place you didn't have to clean. :) That does sound nice! You could do all the stuff that locals never go do unless an out-of-towner comes to visit.
