Interesting -- there was a thread on slashdot about this a while back, and some people had a similar reaction.
I think it is important to *not* see this as a vacation, but instead see it as a lifestyle. Then, the "distraction" is the norm, and you can enjoy it during every free minute you have. Instead of driving to the gym you go for a run on the beach, a dive, or a swim. Not being on a schedule is nice -- if the weather is bad for a week, no problem, just get more work done. Another nice thing about it is that by staying in one place for longer than you would for a vacation, you can experience it and understand it much better. I usually get tired of travelling after a couple of weeks; but being able to get work done changes that completely.
