Uno dovrebbe essere una persona diversa non in vacanza, ma dopo la vacanza

I think the premise itself is fishy. That is, I, for one, am perfectly happy to be the person I am either before or during or after... whatever... vacations included. Therefore, someone – me included – may take offence to a suggestion of becoming a different person after a vacation. Of course I understand it's a metaphor... but an unfortunate and potentially offensive one. Any version with "feeling" would be preferable to "being".

To Shabelula, I live in Seychelles now where the air is clean and full of oxygen :-)
To Phil: Essere o non essere, questo è il problema/dilemma/quesito
The choice of the last word would seem to support your point, but that of the first seven would tend to support the contrary. There again I would think very hard before translating the last word with "domanda" or "questione", I would tend to follow the accepted norms. My advice would be hunt online and see what the others have done and then do your own, which may or may not be identical to those of the others. Problem is this author is not Shakespeare. You say there is no such thing as a definitive translation and I suppose you don't believe in Santa Clause or even the Holy Grail either. Oh ye of little faith ;-)

the most suitable would seem Nicomew's answer, though I'd opt for an "afterwards" instead of "it". James (Jim) Davis when are you coming up for some breathing?

One thing you eventually learn (and it took me a long time) is that there's no such thing as a definitive translation of anything. Even if it's a translation of Goethe that's sold far more copies than any other, it's not set in stone, and your version could be just as good or even better. Don't go hunting online for someone else's translation to copy, just do your own.
(The only exception to this rule is international law, and international organisations such as the European Union. In the EU, a direttiva is always a directive.)

You can usually identify with proverbs and sayings, but not with the interpretations here. After the holiday it's back to the daily grind. I remember returning to work with the short days and ice cold fog in Milan after Christmas in Seychelles. It gave me a true insight into the high suicide rates in Greenland where there is no sun for months. I really think we need to read the full context of the quote. Does it really mean be yourself on holiday and then you can feel reinvigorated when you get back? Even the most optimistic might feel challenged by that one, unless you went on a holiday that turned out a nightmare.
