Feel Great After Vacation

Ahhh, vacation. Rest, relaxation, beautiful places and time away with the people we love the most. Sounds wonderful, right?
But traveling can also mean long hours in the car or in those oh so comfy airplane seats. Not to mention sleeping in an unfamiliar space, lots of walking and sometimes getting in so many fun things that relaxation is on the back burner. Then, we usually get back home just in time to throw in the laundry, get too little sleep and back to work.
As a massage junkie, my personal advice is to schedule some time for a massage in your vacation spot. What I do is schedule one for myself first thing in the morning so my family can sleep in. By the time I get back to the hotel, my family is ready for the day of activity and I feel great.
Shifting back into 'regular' mode after time away can be difficult. If you do come home feeling a bit sore from all that travel or just a bit 'out of sorts', schedule a massage for yourself when you get back. In a perfect world, before you go back to work and your many responsibilities.
