Vacations are crucial when it comes to your health and happiness. Not only have vacations proven to boost work productivity, but they also reduce stress and lower blood pressure.

As our reliance on technology continues to grow, you may feel constantly attached to your devices. While we may need these gadgets to do our work and stay in touch with loved ones, our online activities can often be detrimental to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. According to 2017 data from the American Psychological Association, nearly one-fifth of Americans identify the use of technology as a very or somewhat significant source of stress. But that same report found that around 65% of Americans somewhat or strongly agree that taking a digital detox or periodically unplugging from technology is important for their mental health.

Vacation opportunities can present themselves at unexpected times. This is especially true when you thought you wouldn't be able to swing a vacation this summer.

Summer is officially here and families across the U.S. are packing up to head out on their next big family vacation. Many families enjoy vacations because it lets them spend time together. But if you're not careful, your dream vacation can quickly turn into a nightmare.
