2020 New Year’s ^ Resolutions
That You Need to Keep
by Joy Ross, Travel Journeys
Let’s be honest, giving up sugar, nally committing to a three-day-a-week indoor cycling schedule or quitting ca eine is kind of a bummer. Why not make 2020 the year you resolve to do something that’s actually fun! There are so many ways to incorporate more travel into your new year goals.
Use All Your Vacation Days
Americans leave
millions of vacation
days unused each
year. We’re su ering from burnout. We’re prioritizing hours worked over productivity. We’re putting our family, friends and ourselves last. That’s not fun, nor is it healthy!
Get Global Entry
TSA-pre-check is the best way to go through security. You get your own line! You can keep your shoes on! The laptop and liquids can stay in your bag. Light jacket and belt stays on! If you plan on ever traveling out of the country more than two times a year then, I would skip the TSA-pre-check and go straight to Global Entry. Just sign up for an interview and now you have both TSA pre-check privileges as well as Global Entry, which allows you to pass by long immigration lines EVERY TIME you come home. It’s fabulous!
Plan That Trip You’ve Been Dreaming Of
Have you been daydreaming of wandering the cobblestone streets of Italy for years? Go ahead and start planning your vacation! Did you know the psychologists say that just PLANNING a vacation with a Travel Agent puts you in the same happy zone as going on one? Planning gets you closer to your dream (and is free).
Use Those Credit Card Miles
Why are your hoarding your miles? Sometimes it is better to secure your airfare with your miles and then your travel agent can secure the rest of your vacation. This is great if you are traveling to Europe or even if you have a large family. Make your miles work for you instead of collecting them.
Travel Outside Your Comfort Zone
Do you visit the same resort every February? Do you want to cruise but have no idea if you want a large cruise line, small ship or even a River Cruise? And if ease is important to you, work with a travel agent. They are trained to help match the right vacation to what you are looking for. They really make a di erence when it comes to simplifying your vacation.
