Oh, the places we'll go

Interesting article in the NYT about what vacations actually do for us.  We know we love getting away, but this article argues that part of the actual pleasure we get from vacation comes from the planning and not actually from the trip itself:

Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and anticipating a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation.

Aye, aye!  Where are we going next?
