Plan Your Dream Vacation with #RCIDreamVacay

After the month I’ve had, I am in desperate need of a vacation! Between the surgery, then the complications from the surgery, the 4 days in the hospital and the sheer exhaustion of recovering, I really just want to run away from it all. Note the “run away,” as in “hightail it out of town, turn off my phone and forget the rest of the world exists.” I did that a couple of years ago when Jacob and I went on a cruise. Hanging out with my little man and no distractions was pure bliss.

We hit three islands, each so incredibly gorgeous in different ways. Look at the water in Grand Turk? Isn’t it amazing? I’ve never in my life seen such beautiful blue water. There were these spots where it suddenly got black. I asked why it was so dark there, and the guide said the ocean floor just drops in those spots!

Planning my next dream cruise with RCI

Did you know that the mere act of planning a vacation can actually boost your mood? Seriously, there was a study done that proved it.  Since I totally need a mood booster, I got to work planning my dream vacation with RCI. RCI is the global leader in vacation exchange, so believe me, they KNOW vacations! Planning your dream vacation is really simple. Start by picking your own idea of a dream vacay. Do you want to go on a cruise like me? Prefer lounging on the beach? Want to hit the slopes? Pretty much every ideal vacation is there!

Then start adding in the details. Where do you want to go? Since I’ve already been to the Caribbean, I opted for Europe. Honestly, it was a nearly impossible decision because I wanted to go to all of the places! I figure since my son’s passport is only good for one more year, though, we should hit Europe now (I’m even practical in my dreams!).  Some day I’ll get to all of those places.
