New Year, New Goals - Welcome 2015

97106 HOnce the celebrations have ended and the last ball has dropped, many look to the New Year to set new goals and take a fresh approach to life. At Dale E. Peterson Vacations, we hope you’ll take more time to travel, make memories and enjoy life and loved ones.  We’ve collected a few of our favorite travel resolutions for you to consider in 2015.  
  
1 - No checking email while on vacation. Easier said than done but absolutely critical to making the most of your well-deserved time off. Unplugging is a key. Make a commitment to yourself and your family to unplug on your next vacation.  
  
2 -   Take all your vacation days. Yes, we’re talking to you. Vacation days provide an opportunity to recharge and refresh. Just like staying home when you are sick, we want you to stay away and take every vacation day you are entitled too.  
  
3 -  Don’t over plan your vacation. Another easier said than done resolution, especially if you have kids. Try to have one vacation day with no agenda - only exploration. Leave it open for your kids’ suggestions or simply start with a walk on the beach and see where it leads you.  
  
4 - Create memories as keepsakes. A t-shirt is nice but a picture is better. Spend more time making memories and capture them with pictures, videos or journaling.
  
5 - Let your your present be your presence. Give the gift of your presence on your vacation. Fully engage in the moment with you spouse, your kids, your loved ones. Committing to resolutions one through four is key.
  
Here’s to an amazing 2015.
