    1. Thanks Zulema! I am the type that does come back and get a little down. It is hard to get back to the real world at times. I also look so forward to my trips when they are over it is a little sad. I definitely know there are others out there like that.

  1. Kelly that was an awesome recap of some of the vacations that I’ve had in the past. Your recommendations were right on and I wish I had heard them years ago. One other thought, even when you’re retired vacations are important. Being with your spouse and all your family a change of scenery and just making new memories is really something to strive for. I will also admit usually getting home and not having to go straight back to work also helps a lot


    1. Thanks! Yes, great things to add. I should add #6, allow a couple days off at the end of your vacation to recover from your vacation lol.


  2. I am fortunate that I have never started worrying about the end of a vacation in the middle of a vacation. I definitely enjoy every second while I’m on it, and I usually look forward to the comforts of home (including reunion with pet bunny) on the return trip. Then the hunger to travel starts again, but we usually have the next 1-2 trips partly planned by then, so I’m not starting from scratch. As to your mention about how little vacation time we Americans receive, I just read in my AAA magazine that in 2016, US workers didn’t use more than 200 million days of paid vacation. WHAT?! As a teacher I get summers off, but only 2 personal days during the school year, so any fall or spring travel is basically impossible. How I wish those people could donate their (foolishly) unused vacation time to me. Long live travel!
