National Plan for Vacation Day

      No Comments on National Plan for Vacation Day

Here in Iowa it’s the middle of winter, so it’s a great time to think ahead to your next vacation! Whether you are dreaming of a tropical destination, visiting family in another region, or even a staycation in your own hometown, planning a vacation is a feel- good activity.  In fact, it’s been proven that planning a vacation releases more endorphins and other “happy brain” chemicals than actually going on the trip!

Full disclosure- I started celebrating this one early.  My niece has a special “duet” performance at her spring dance recital in early June, and so I’ve decided to make that the starting off point for my summer vacation.  I have been weighing two possible destinations –  Duluth MN or the Black Hills of SD- and I would have a good head start on either from there, so it just makes sense.    Plus I often go on vacation in early to mid June.   Tourist attractions in the Midwest are often a little less crowded then vs. later in the summer, and there usually aren’t many other folks on PTO at my work during these times.

So whether you haven’t given a single thought to your summer plans yet or if you have a detailed agenda already in place, spend a little time today thinking about vacation.  It’s bound to put you in a good mood!
