Virtual Travel to Make Me Happy

I love to travel and experience new places. When I allow myself to be really stressed over career, money, family...I take a few minutes, go online and brainstorm with myself where I would like to visit next or in the near future. I view airline schedules, pictures of the area, exhibits at the local museums or events at the local wineries, or sometimes I follow a musician, such as where is Diana Krall playing that I might enjoy visiting. Then I make a plan on dates and possible travel companions. I sometimes don't even take that trip but it gives me an escape from the day to day dulldroms and puts me on a happier path.
