Think about the most amazing vacation you’ve ever experienced. Your escape to that perfect getaway where you basked in the scenic paradise of your dreams. Remember when you opened the door to your relaxing lakefront hotel suite or romantic mountain resort? As soon as you stepped inside, you dashed to the window to throw back the curtains and drink in the spectacular view. Aaaah, feathery white clouds floating along with sapphire skies past towering mountains that cast their cool shadows over crystal-clear streams. Absolutely gorgeous. This place was more incredible than you’d imagined it could be. And, lucky you, you got to drink in that natural beauty for an entire week as you hiked, fished, canoed, strolled, and wined-and-dined your way through the most glorious vacation of your life.

Wait a minute, you thought as you zipped up your suitcase and pulled the final curtain on the last day of your dream vacation, don’t I deserve more than a week-long room with a view? Shouldn’t I be experiencing this kind of bliss every day?
