Although last year was a pretty tough year for me (as it may have been for you), I told myself 2009 wasn’t going to go the same way. Usually, I don’t really spend anytime thinking about the upcoming year. In spite of that, I decided it was time for me to change my approach up. The plan that I came up with was to make vacationing a priority in my life. To ensure I followed through on this, I started making plans right away.
In case you are wondering if I followed through, I just got back from New Zealand, which was the vacation I planned at the beginning of the year. Since I booked my trip at the beginning of the year, my New Zealand rental car and everything else needed for my trip was already good to go. Because it was so easy to get my New Zealand rental car and I didn’t encounter any problems, I had an extremely relaxing trip. This was a very good thing, because it reinforced my previous feelings that there is truly a lot of value to traveling.
While it would have been nice to stay in New Zealand a little longer, I did have to get back to my real life. However, there are still over eight months left in this year! I haven’t decided where I am going to go on my next trip, but I do know I will be taking at least two more trips this year, and wherever they end up taking me should be a very enjoyable adventure.
