Vacation planning is so much fun
there is the tingle of anticipation
along with the magic of imagination
and the thrill of excitement 

While sometimes the actual trip
isn’t the perfect time that we plan,
a lot of time, just leaving the driveway
puts you into vacation mode and relaxation begins

I am a bit late planning this year,
but am excited about not only the trip, but 
getting the process started helps me to release 
stress and rejuvenate long before the trip begins

It’s almost like I have given myself permission
to dream, to relax, to concentrate on having fun
and getting out to enjoy the sun
in preparation for vacation

Although the summmer is going by too fast,
the magic is not lost and the atmosphere is
beginning to envelop me as the first step
has been taken, the vacation planning!
