Looking good on the project, and you're going to enjoy the week off to do your thing.
On the job, project management has taken on a whole new approach in the time you've been in it. I watched the transition of e-mail from "informal communications only" to "admissible in court", which means that your team can sink a project (or really make things messy) by agreeing to things that they have no authority to discuss. With e-mail and smart phones you're connected 24/7 like it or not, and taking a real vacation or just a few days off is a challenge. Once there (managing projects), backing off to less responsibility can be tough unless you change companies, and even then people wonder why and consider you "over qualified". Good luck with your decision. Maybe the holiday time off will ease things for you.
