When the clock starts ticking down and the days to departure get closer, it’s a great feeling. So many of my friends are either on vacation or about to leave for one. I thought the timing would be perfect for these videos.

Even if you are not headed out of town or even taking a staycation, you will most likey relate to the sentiments of these videos.

Having just returned from vacation myself, it would seem more appropriate to post videos of the let down. The coming back to reality party of life after a getaway. However, I want to stay positive. I also know another quick getaway could be just around the corner. These videos will be appropriate again.

We all need a break from our daily routines. Unplugging in today’s fast world is need physically, spiritually and mentally. Even if you can’t get on a plane and fly somewhere, you can get in a car and head to beach for a weekend.
