Whenever we travel, it's felt like it's for something or someone else. I'm SO excited to have the opportunity next month to just take a trip with my boyfriend and our dogs for US <3

Another reason for sitting down and planning my trips at the beginning of the year, is to create a budget and ensure that we save enough each month in order for the trips to actually happen. So, the strategy is to figure out how much we need and divide by how many months we have, and then BAM — that is how much we have to save in order to make it happen. It's too overwhelming for me if I don't plan it in advance. You know I am always happy to talk travel and we definitely need a Girls Weekend stat! I think the Blue Ridge Parkway is calling my name again! xo

We only go on trips for weddings right now. I really need a trip for just us! xo, Champagne&Suburbs

That being said, you guys deserve a weekend– or even a fun day trip somewhere. With my family being in a different state, we've had years where our only trips are going to see them– which we love, but it's different when you're traveling solo with your husband.

Traveling just isn't something I can budget in right now. Hopefully our ten year anniversary will be great!!!

Life can get really hectic but you have to take time for yourself too. Your friend and her hubby do have it right by planning out their vacation at the beginning of the year. If you wait until everything falls into place for it to just happen, it won't happen.
Do it today. Figure out where you want to go and start making the arrangements.

New to your link up – looking forward to reading along! I say you need to do a combo of both – plan some strategic big vacations and be open to little weekend getaways. I do know that my spirits begin to lift just by planning a future vacation! R&R is a mental must . . . you should try to do just a quick little inexpensive something to change the pace!

It's totally the type A in me but it's also great because it gives you something to look forward to and also save your money for. I love booking trips for anniversaries, birthdays, etc and foregoing the presents. That way you are "celebrating" something on your trip and it gives you a reason to pack up and go!

We don't plan vacations. Most of our traveling has been due to moving. However, I'm thinking something for this Christmas would be nice…

We make a point of getting away at a minimum three times a year (and we have two friggin' kids.) You're homework from Mrs. B is for you to find a vacation weekend and GO!!!!
