I know a lot you are already thinking, "How can they even think of something like trading my husband to travel!" But before you get all carried away with the thought that I really mean it, lets take a deep breathe. What I really mean is wouldn't we all just love to take a break every once in a while and travel to a magical place away from the everyday worldly affairs?
Honestly, it is true that the heart goes fonder with distance. As a woman you are someones wife, mother (I would like to include pet moms too please), daughter/daughter-in-law, boss babe and so much more! Life keeps throwing challenges at you and you are always expected to face them. I know so many of my beautiful girl friends right now are nodding 'yes' to this. I am too, because I know how amazing it would be to get away just for a few days. And you don't have to go alone - you can go with any of your sisters or girl friends who need a break as much as you do.
