Here's me on vacation in Sonoma last fall. This trip made me happier before, during and after.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAre you planning a spring break getaway or a summer family vacation?
\nIf so, you might be enjoying the happiest part of the trip now — the planning.
\nAccording to a recent wellness piece on nytimes.com<\/a>, Dutch researchers looked at the effect of vacations on people’s happiness and found planning a vacation delivers the biggest increase in happiness. Looking forward to a vacation, the researchers found, made people happier for eight weeks.
\nHowever, when they returned from the vacation, it was back to normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cVacations do make people happy,\u201d Mr. Nawijn said. \u201cBut we found people who are anticipating holiday trips show signs of increased happiness, and afterward there is hardly an effect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The results are published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life<\/a>.
\nI know I love looking forward to a trip. I loved researching which wineries we should visit in Sonoma and where to stay in France. I’m looking forward to New Orleans next month, excitedly investigating new restaurants and reminiscing about favorite bands.
\nMaybe we should better appreciate the whole experience of vacations, including the pleasant distraction it gives us to plan for them. Or do you think modern life is so hectic that it just evaporates our time off bliss too quickly?
\nDo vacations make you happier? If so, how long does it last?<\/strong>
