It’s that feeling of something to look forward to, the idea of having fun away from home, something fresh, something reinvigorating and different from the everyday grind. It begins with the mention of the word vacation…summer vacation! Whether it came from your mouth or a coworker, the wheels start turning in your head and excitement builds as you think about all of the options and possibilities that are out there today. You then contemplate the question, live to work or work to live? How about WORK TO VACATION?! Planning a vacation, long or short, can help you avoid burnout and give you something to look forward to. This is so important for your mental health.
As teachers, there are specific times of year we look forward to planning a vacation or getaway. Weekend getaways on Memorial Day, Labor Day, President’s Day, and longer breaks like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring break all present the opportunity for a vacation. A break from the norm and everyday professional and personal responsibilities provide a chance to recharge your batteries.

People are starting to travel again so this is an excellent post to give us some ideas. I will definitely take note of these places. Thank you! Glad I came over to your post.
I’m definitely looking forward to planning a getaway for my husband and I this summer. My husband is no longer a teacher, but it was really easy to plan vacations when he had set times off. We are looking forward to going to Mexico.
I have been looking for some great spots for vacationing. I am going to check out VRBO. Thanks for the recommend
I will definitely keep VRBO in mind for my future travels. I am all in for a relaxing vacation. I badly need it.
I’ve not visited that site before. I must keep it in mind when we look for holidays later in the year.
I like the many options that you can choose from on the VRBO website. It caters to different types of travelers.
Ooh I like how you have an idea for everything! Summer is coming soon and there’ll be a lot of opportunities to do these activities!
No, I haven’t had an experience with VRBO! I’d love to. They’ve got some ideas that I like.
From my holidays I always look for fixed points, what gives me happiness and what I need: family, home and road trip!
My sister is coming up on her holidays now and I’m very jealous, deep down! I get that she can’t really take vacations during the year and that she works hard as a teacher, but take me with you! Give me two months free, too!
Truthfully, I’m jealous of the summer holidays teachers have. I wish I had time to go travel.
My hubby and I are going to Jackson Hole this summer! And Teton National Park! We are so excited! These are great suggestions too!
These are great ideas. I love that you gave options based on the vibe of the kind of trip we’re looking for.
