What is the one thing that takes you away from your work desk
and provides absolute pleasure? If you said ice-cream, you are wrong. Think
about this: flying first class on an airplane that takes you miles away from
home and lands you in paradise. Whatever your paradise may be, be assured there
is amazing food, comfortable beds and plenty of time for relaxation.
Throughout my lifetime, traveling has been a big part of my
life, and I would never trade the experiences I had for anything. Exploring new
places opens up a world of exciting experiences and did I say, good food?
When deciding to go somewhere on vacation, the first thing to
do is research. A smart traveler does not simply hop on a plane or car and
expect to have a successful vacation. I spend time searching for lodging,
attractions, places to eat and the culture of the destination. Even though
there are things that go wrong on vacation, at least you are prepared.
The most exciting vacation I took was a cruise to the Western
Caribbean back in 2009. It was fantastic! Everything was planned out well, the
food was delightful and weather perfect. I relaxed on a white beach with
turquoise waters and swam with stingrays. How can that get any better?
Your paradise doesn't need to have palm trees and pristine
beaches. About 5 years ago, I took a trip to New York City at Christmas time
with my aunt. Talk about fun! The city is constantly alive and there is always
something to do. Even though I had a full schedule of getting lost in the city,
it was relaxing. What a paradise!
Whatever your paradise is, take a vacation. It is worth
taking 2 weeks off from work and getting away; out of your comfort zone. Yes,
things can go wrong, but make the most of it. You're on vacation! If you miss
your flight, enjoy a Starbucks latte while waiting on the next plane.
Traveling to new places exposes you to experiences you'll
never forget. I can talk in detail about a trip I took 5 years ago, but I
couldn't tell you what I received for my last birthday.
There are so many places out there waiting for you to
explore. Take the time to escape the world of work and experience your own
paradise.
