If you're in Connecticut for the summer, or even just for part of it, consider yourself lucky. Many throughout New England think of our little state as something of its very own Vacationland, USA.

Are you really relaxing if you’re not disconnected from your devices? Now that you can easily access email on your mobile phone, or you can work from home where your workstation is right in front of you, the temptation to tend to work-related matters while away from the office is greater than ever. And we all know it: staying connected in those ways, especially when we’re supposed to be in our work-free zones, is not good for us. We also know that office activity is not the healthiest of activities; again, especially when it’s the only activity you make time for. Rene Russo from The Intern (2015) may have said it best: “sitting is the new smoking.”
