Travel and health experts say a winning getaway -- one that is enjoyed before, during, and after a trip -- takes a bit of planning. Otherwise, you may be doomed to repeat scenarios that have made countless other escapes stressful.
Consider these situations:
- Have you ever felt frantic and lost sleep trying to get all of your errands and packing done before a trip?
- Ever got stuck in slow-moving traffic or in long airport security lines?
- Tired of trying to find enough activities for the kids to do?
- Feel the need to check in with work during vacation?
