How to live longer: Take a vacation
Some of my coworkers and family think I'm tremendously spoiled. I carefully plot out my vacation so that I can take many little
extended weekend jaunts to places near and far throughout the year rather than blow it all on
two weeks in just one place, which is
tres boring. Granted, it means that I waste a lot of time
jammed into a coach seat,
but it also means that I can assuage my ADD and fulfill my delusion
that I'm an international jetsetter. My dedication to decadence may
have just paid off: you see,
a recent study found that "
women who took a
vacation once every six years or less were almost eight times more
likely to develop heart disease or have a heart attack than those who
took at least two vacations a year." Booyah! Finally a scientific study that doesn't make me depressed or feel like the Fail Whale. I win!
Speaking of which, if you're looking for an excuse to do your body good, Anne and I will be attending BlogHer
in San Francisco later this month. If you're going to be there, we'd
love to have you join us for an Elastic Waist lunch on Friday. Email
me for deets! And if you're not signed up, it's not too late! Today is the last day to register!
So where are you going on vacation this summer? The comments are dying to know!

You should consider a money saving/money making way to satisy your vacation hunger like 4day/3night cruises from $50pp. Check out world ventures.com Or if you'd like to help out a fellow vacation addict replace/eliminate her disability income. check out all World Ventures' lucious options on my site www.powerambo.worldventures.biz. You'll be amazed I sure was. Your traveling can easily be tax deductible with only a part-time commitment to building your own travel business.
