Follow these simple travel tricks to maximize vacation happiness:

Pre-Vacation

1. Plan early.
2. Research all of the fun places you will go.
3. Create a playlist for your holiday follies.
4. Talk up the trip – with friends, family, whomever will listen.

Remember: If you take more frequent, shorter trips, you can take more jaunts throughout the year!

During Your Travels

1. Go easy – don’t try to see and do… Every. Single. Thing.
2. Choose your companions with care. (Studies show that traveling improves communication, reduces the possibility of divorce and strengthens family bonds.)

Post-Vacation

1. Post pics. Post more pics.
2. Host a destination-themed party.
3. Send out an email with your favorite memories.

The work-travel balance equation is hard to master, but with these helpful hints you can get away from it all and enjoy every millisecond of your next getaway. And the one after that. And the one after that…
