PASSAGE 22：Happy Vacation

Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money in planning our vacations. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.

Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.

A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components. Hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences.
