Have you been feeling the January blues? If so, you’re not alone. According to a new survey by EasyJet Holidays, 64% of people get the January blues because of cold weather and snow. And if that wasn’t enough to make your spirits sink, 50% of employees spend their workday looking at vacation destinations on their computers. If you could vacation anywhere where would you go and when would you go?

It sounds like it’s time for an escape!

From mountain landscapes and tropical beaches to vibrant cities and cute small towns, you don't have to leave the country for a getaway that everyone will enjoy.

What are the must haves on your list when planning a trip with your friends or family? Are you trying to get away from the snow and cold? Maybe you want to embrace it and head to a cozy snowy cabin for the week? Whatever the case, relaxing and enjoying yourself is a must for everyone. Even if it's a weekend getaway make it a priority for you and your mind!

No matter where your travels may take you in 2023 (or beyond!), remember that having an amazing vacation starts with finding a great destination which means doing some research beforehand as well as reading reviews from other travelers who have already visited these places. With all this knowledge under your belt (as well as plenty more about what each state has to offer), booking your next adventure should be easy sailing. Even during those dreary winter months when we all need a little extra sunshine and warmth in our lives! So don't let the January blues keep you down; start planning your vacation today!
