Ten Acres Lodge - A Stowe Vermont Bed and Breakfast

June 11, 2008

You need a vacation in Stowe Vermont!

Filed under: Events in Stowe VT — admin @ 4:24 pm

Of course since I own a bed and breakfast, what else would I call this post…but seriously, I do think everyone needs to think for a moment before rejecting a vacation because of high gas prices.
This article

brings up good points to consider when thinking about canceling holiday plans.
Having worked on work life balance issues for corporations and executives for my 15+ years in HR, I know what can happen if you don’t get away from the daily grinds of life.
Burn out is real.
It lowers productivity, strains relationships, stresses families, etc.
Now the way I figure it, many people may consider a short trip that can be made on one tank of gas each way….about 400 miles?
If that’s the case, you may spend $15-20 more each way this year vs. last.
Are we really not going to make a trip because of $40?
I hope not.
I would hope that all of you, regardless of whether you stay with us in Stowe VT, would consider getting away for a few days or a week…turn off the cell phone, forget the news…and just relax.
Look in a 400 mile radius and see what is out there.
The perfect spot for you is out there!
I hope you consider Ten Acres Lodge.
I’m curious what the rest of you think?
Are vacations important?
Do you manage to turn off the cell phone and NOT check work email when you are on holiday?
Do you remember what it felt like to have a clear mind and a relaxed body?
Let me know.
Happy travels!
