So it seems as though we are having what I refer to as a travelers funk; by that I mean it seems impossible to get away either because of finances, work or family obligations.
In order to get over the slump, instead of planning an elaborate get away that costs a lot and requires a couple of weeks vacation, we have begun taking mini vacations instead.
Normally our mini vacations include 2-3 days of either camping or attending different events & activites. There have been times when we have taken the motorcycle out for a day trip or driven the distance to attend an event in a different area. All these things have the 'getaway feel', are less expensive and make you feel like you have done something exciting and worthwhile with your time away from work.
So don't be to upset if you can't take that 2 week vacation right away...stay positive, whether spontaneously or by planning ahead; you can feel fresh and relaxed even with the simple pleasures of a Mini Vacation.
