Memorial Day signals the “official” start of the “vacation season.” So what are your vacation plans this year? Will you be taking a vacation? Where are you going? How long will you take? How will you keep your business going when you’re gone?

My husband is turning 62 this fall. (Bill Clinton turns 62 in August, by the way.)
