After a three week hiatus journeying through Holland and Croatia, I'm back in the blogosphere. I'll be sharing some of my travel and, hopefully, photography, insights with you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I direct your attention to an article in today's New York Times on "Planning the Perfect Vacation." Its generally very high-level, but certainly re-iterates my personal view that the "planning" part is critical in translating into a great travel experience. The article includes the results of an Netherlands study showing that a majority of vacationers were happiest in planning the vacation! I've certainly noticed this is many a trip I've taken. While the trip itself was everything I could have hoped for, the anticipation was even better. The mind works in funny ways, sometimes! OK, usually.

Which also leads me to an upcoming book that I've written on the Vacation Planning process. Should be available by the end of summer and will provide a much greater level of detail on how to plan for and budget for your next great adventure. Stay tuned for details.
