Let me know if this sounds familiar: I need a vacation, you say to yourself, likely over dinner after a long day at work. You feel energized by the idea and you start Googling flight prices. You probably stop and start this process several times, cowed by the cost. You start making mental calculations. I’ll only be able to be there for five full days. I’m going to blow all my savings. Is it really worth it? Finally, even more burnt out than before, you decide that screw it, you need this, and you go ahead and book your trip.
