I went on a silent retreat and while it wasn't as strict and silent as I had hoped, after 4 days I felt like I had gotten some very cleansing alone time.
Getting back into the grind was a bit disheartening, I won't lie; but giving myself the 'ok' to have the freedom to skip out for a little while and know that things won't completely fall apart is tremendously helpful.
Can I ask if you had to clear your vacation with a spouse or SO? And if so how you did that? Cuz my wife won't like it one bit.
