A group vacation can be a terrificexperience … but it can also be exhausting. The whole process of figuring out where you’re going to go, what you’re going to do and how you’re going to get there can infuse stress into a situation that is supposed to be fun. It’s enough to make you come home feeling like you need another vacation.
Well, what if you took one?
Book an extra day or two at your destination after the group vacation is over to give yourself the time you need to wind down. Extra time will also give you the opportunity to see some of the sights that your group wasn’t interested in seeing.
You can do these days on your own or with just one or two people from your group. For example, if you take a big family vacation each year, ask mom and dad to take the kids for a couple of extra days while you and your spouse catch up with one another. If you and a best friend are part of a travel group, book an extra day at the end just to enjoy a spa day together before you head home.
If you can’t afford the extra time, consider taking a later flight home than the rest of your group. If they leave in the morning and you aren’t flying out until late that night, you’ve got a whole day to yourself to regroup.
