I spent 25 years planning vacations for me, my husband, and our kids. I may have retired from the job that paid me, and I don't plan vacations for the kids anymore, but I still like planning vacations. It has been said that planning a trip is half the fun. It is for me! A Dutch study that examined happiness levels before, during, and after a vacation found that the largest spike in happiness came before the trip. Planning a vacation led to an increase in happiness for eight weeks. Let me help you plan your next vacation. It's even more fun when there's someone to share in the anticipation!
