Vacation Planning

Amy and Hobie Porterfield meticulously plan their vacations to maintain a healthy work-life balance. They schedule two family vacations and two personal getaways each year, ensuring they align with Amy's business calendar to avoid high-stress periods 1. Their favorite retreat is a secluded spot in Cabo, where they disconnect completely from work, indulging in margaritas and relaxation 2. Hobie emphasizes the importance of these trips, stating, "When we do that one, we plan that so that there is nothing allowed to happen during that time."
