Day 8 is: Plan a trip – even if you can't take it!
In fact, the planning of a vacation can actually make you happier. than actually taking one!! There is a great study in the journal, Applied Research in Quality of Life that showed the highest spike in happiness came during the planning stage of a vacation and not during the vacation itself...I think it is the anticipation!! Isn't it great that even if you can't take the time for a vacation, you can still get the happiness benefits just by planning and dreaming about it! … (3 comments)
Last weekend we visited Baja, Mexico.. What a beautiful place .. We stayed at a place in La Playa Mision and loved every minute. The beach was gorgeous with black sand and it even had sparkles in it.. The sunset above was from our table at dinner.. The first photo was from the balcony of where we stayed... Loving my vacation time!! … (3 comments)
There is nothing more relaxing than spending a long weekend at the beach.. I love the smells and everything about the feeling of laying on the beach on a sunny day... Or even cloudy day! And this time of year is even better since the crowds are gone and you almost have the beach to yourself!
My last night on my long weekend getaway to Garden City Beach( Myrtle Beach).. Walking along the beach tonight I got a few good shots of the ocean at sunset. Hope you enjoy them...And I Hope everyone has had as good a weekend as I have.

I have been on vacation since September 15th visiting my oldest daughter in Southern California. It was a wonderful trip full of good times, beach, and good food with friends.
