If so, plan the alternate trip as if it were the actual trip, remembering to gather any sort of supplies you would need for that vacation, too. Set a deadline for yourself, for when you re going to make the call, and stick to it. Use your vacation as a chance to try something new. Your day trip experiment could turn into a lifelong interest, so look into one-day workshops, or schedule a lesson for you and your family.

Enthusiasm is contagious.
