Since the vacation was about our marital milestone, we catered the trip to us, not our 7-year-old. AdvertisementThe family stayed at the Royal Hawaiian. In my husband's opinion, they also made the best mai tai on the island, rivaling those at the Royal Hawaiian. Though they didn't cater the trip to their 7-year-old son, he still had a great time. But this family trip is one I'll never forget, and not only because my husband's new morning uniform is his recently acquired Royal Hawaiian pink and white striped hotel robe.

I spoke with a group of business people and other leaders of faith who have come to see sabbaticals as a crucial spiritual practice. It’s important to clarify what a sabbatical actually is. What a sabbatical looks like depends on the field. For clergy, sabbaticals provide a break from the intense relational and spiritual pressure of running a church or a nonprofit. For most people in academic fields, a sabbatical offers an opportunity to take a break from teaching in order to focus on research and other projects.
