Good luck!

Hi everyone. As Julia mentioned, I'm off on another adventure. She wrote in my intro, "Dez Bartelt is who I want to be when I grow up."

Well, Julia, this is what I tell other women who make Missing Out on LifeMissing Out on Lifethat statement: Don't wait - do it now. Life is too short to miss out on the adventure. There are no excuses.

574 million

That's the ridiculous number of vacation days Americans leave untouched every year, according to a 2007 Expedia survey. And you're missing out on more than just margaritas and tan lines.

  • Vacations help us feel less tense, tired and depressed.
  • They also keep us more satisfied with our relationships.

So whether your goal is to lie motionless on the beach in Puerto Rico, chase lions in Kenya or tack a few play days on to your business trip to San Francisco, it's high time you got of Dodge.

Or should I say your office?

Have you started planning your time away for 2008 yet? What are you waiting for?

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
