If you are like me, you have been saying ‘I need a vacation‘ for way too long and it is time to do something about it. One minor problem though, is that with the oil price hitting the roof, air traveling is suddenly becoming unbearable. As I surf through the countless travel sites, daydreaming on what it would be like to sit on that beach, the warm tropical breeze, smell of the ocean, the sound of waves dancing..sipping a cool cocktail…ahhh.. , I was quickly reminded that my ideal vacation of going to another country like the Caribbean’s, Europe, Asia, is out of my budget .@$%  

However, because baggers can’t be choosers, if there is well, there is a way. i.e., if I want to take a vacation, it is still possible without setting foot on the plane. And today, the first page I happened to open from the Credit Union newsletter (of all magazines) is titled 7 reasons to travel this summer. I think it is a sign. Don’t you? So here it is:

1. Rejuvenate yourself
2. Change of Scenery. Doesn’t it sound great to just leave all this behind and simply get away?
3. Relax
4. Build relationships, with your family, friends, or that special someone.
5. Reinvent yourself. Taking a trip breaks up your normal routine, which allow you to think more creatively.
6. Satisfy curiosity, by exploring new cultures and be adventurous
7. Learn something new

Even if you just get away for a mini-vacation, it can do wonders for your soul.

“20 years fom yow, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do… Explore. Dream. Discover.”
