WHEN Brian Fraidin invites friends to go away with him on vacation, he speaks frankly. Don't get too excited, he warns, because he will probably cancel.

"Sitting on a beach sounds appealing to me," said Mr. Fraidin, who owns a venture capital firm in Baltimore and took his last vacation three years ago (it was a weekend trip to Florida). "But once the day is over, what have you accomplished?"
