Work is always stressful!  and its lovely just to chill out sitting outside the tent watching the world go by.

Have a lovely time

I find the last week at work before going away really stressful. There's always so much to sort out before I go that I think I work twice as hard then as any other week.

For the first day or two, I always fret about something I might have forgotten to do and have been known to text our admin bod and get them to check. I have a vague underlying worry about a client or two going into crisis while I'm away, too. After a couple of days I start to relax properly and stop fretting, then it seems like no time at all before I get back to work and and have all the hassle of sorting out all the problems that cropped up while I was away.

I actually think that people should be paid more when on holiday in some jobs. It involves more work to go away than to just stay there and do it!
