Three weeks and counting down

Planning a trip is as much fun as the trip itself. What if you woke up one day and your spouse said to you, "pack your bags, I have tickets to Tahiti, we leave in two hours". I would not say no but I would miss the anticipation. The planning and decision-making create an environment of increasingly delicious anticipation . Which hotel would be best? Which excursions should we take? How much free time is too much? Should we hike or take the train? Do we need a rental car? Each decision brings us closer to the big event until finally, when I think I am going to bust, the big day arrives. The planning and anticipation are replaced with the reality of the experience. The build-up is always worth the trip.

Do you agree?

You are NOT allowed to say "delicious anticipation".

Stop it now.
