What would you do with a 3 month sabbatical?

I remember reading on this site that a senior banker said that he would rather be strung out on a beach
in southeast asia if it weren't for the money.

Now, that seems like a good start but what would you do with the other 2 months? =D

(for me this would be an internship with NYTimes or similar publicaiton).

NYT generally prefers people who can spell, whether you’re the one doing the writing or if you’re proofing others. Good luck with that.

NYT is also a trash rag at this point so there's probably more leniency on hiring than you think.

Sit on my ass and watch Dog The Bounty Hunter DVD's all day for the first week. Then after finishing season's 1-4, I'd get off my ass and catch a flight somewhere in the tropics. Then I'd spend a week on a houseboat where I'd wakeboard and waterski with a bunch of buddies. Then I'd spend a few weeks in Scottsdale golfing. That's all I would need.
