Once again, I’m muttering, “I have to get out of here.” It’s my new mantra. I chant it during my hour commute and while I am waiting to switch laundry loads. Don’t get me wrong. I like my life but I need space. We all do. When we think of the getaway, does it always have to involve a family meeting about vacation destinations and a packing list longer than our arms? Remember the old adage, “He travels fastest who travels alone?” Well, it’s time to take an amazing trip with someone you love. You.
We plan for everyone else’s comfort, and every eventuality. We sacrifice hours to get to the business meeting, make the game with the kids and shop for nutritious food. What’s wrong with planning some “me” time? If you are need of a getaway, but can’t make everyone’s schedules mesh, maybe you need to consider that you are meant to take a day or two for yourself.
Picture yourself in a colorful Mexican marketplace. Imagine the roses in your cheeks, as you stand in the tower of an Irish castle. Go make that picture a reality, even if only for a day. The choice is yours! Your loved ones will benefit from your fresh, post-travel perspective. If you can wrangle a weekend to paint the garage, you can engineer time to take care of you. Money an issue? If you look in the right places, you will find bargains that cost no more than the IPOD you bought Junior for Christmas. There are tips that will help you plan your getaway down to the smallest detail.
So, take a chance. Take a trip. Enjoy what’s new and different. Feel adventurous, glamorous and very Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca.” Chances like this don’t come along everyday. Grab the opportunity to see a little of this world and while you’re at it, grab your little carry-on bag. This time, you’ll be leaving the bologna sandwiches and the first aid kit behind. Getting away with someone you love feels good, doesn’t it?
