At the start of 2009 (which was only a couple of months ago), I decided I wanted things to go differently this year. While most people set resolutions at the start of a New Year, this isn’t something I had really done before. However, this seemed like a good opportunity, so I made a resolution I knew I could keep. The plan that I came up with was to make vacationing a priority in my life. In order to avoid blowing off what I had committed, I wanted to book a trip as soon as possible.
Not only did I setup a trip to London at the beginning of the year (which was actually a lot easier than I expected it to be), but I actually took it just a few weeks ago. Thanks to the Internet, all of my travel arrangements (including my Stansted car hire) were made ahead of time. It was this advance planning and the ability to pick up my Stansted car hire in no time that made my trip so easy to enjoy. This was a very good thing, because it reinforced my previous feelings that there is truly a lot of value to travelling.
While I would have been completely happy if I got to stay in London longer (because it is such a cool place to visit), all good trips have to come to an end. However, there are still over eight months left in this year! Although I was already planning on finding another trip to take over the course of the next couple of weeks, one of my friends told me that she wants to go on a trip too, so that gives me even more motivation to find somewhere to go.
