Five Reasons Why A Vacation Is Good For You by Josie Riviera

If you’ve read any of my books, you know I’m fascinated with discovering new places and traveling. As summer nears, many families are beginning to organize their travel plans.

Here’s five reasons why a vacation, whether it be a ‘staycation’ at home, or an elaborate holiday, are good for you:

First, you get to relax. So much of our time is focused on work that we need to spend a few days allowing ourselves to play.

Second, without job constraints, you’ll be able to enjoy quality time with your loved ones.

Third, plan a few hours during your vacation to do nothing but relax and soak up the sights. Allow your thoughts to wander, whether you’re fishing by a lake, or sitting in your backyard enjoying the sunshine.

Fourth, casing your mind from the strain of everyday life is proven to reduce stress.

Fifth, take the opportunity to learn new skills, whether enrolling in a French cooking class or learning how to water-ski. (I’ve never done either!)

And, remember that armchair travel is also a good way to escape to a new, exotic location.

What are your summer plans? Please leave your comments below.

This is Maeve’s story…

He’s all business. She loves to laugh. When business conflicts with pleasure, what could possibly go wrong?

Maeve Doherty needed a hard-earned break from Ireland’s rainy weather, as well as caring for her younger brother. When the offer from Perfect Match to enjoy a week on an island of her choice arrived, she hesitated.

But not for long.
 

She’d always wanted to visit Corsica. Besides, who passed up free?
All right, so she'd spend the week with a match. On her dating profile, she’d added that she was a workaholic. Hopefully, so was he.
 

Edward Newell had one thing on his mind when he reached Corsica, and it didn't involve meeting a perfect match. Dating? Love? Romance? Not for him.
He was determined to find the picture-perfect location for his thriving hotel chain.
 

When unexpected attraction burns for the beautiful Maeve, and business conflicts with pleasure, what could possibly go wrong?
