We Deserve A Vacation

When I chatted with Trinity the night before she came to Malaysia, I could sense her happiness when we mentioned the word “vacation”. It makes me think of how a vacation can make a person excited, happy and relaxed.


The recent swine flu and economic turmoil has discouraged many people from taking a vacation. However, you would agree with me that the best way to get away from all the stress which we face in our work and to truly relax is to take a well deserved summer vacation. If we plan properly, a vacation can be made affordable and at the same time enjoyable. You may want to travel in groups and stay in a rental property like those in HomeAway Vacation Rentals instead of hotel rooms while splitting the cost.


The only worry we have is the attack of H1N1 virus but analyzing the cases of worldwide attack, there is still a slight sigh of relieve as the number of death cases is not that high. So, we got to pray hard that this virus will leave us alone the soonest possible so that everyone can travel!


If you love to travel, be sure to join the “Save Our Summer Vacation” movement organized by HomeAway to help the petition congress of United States to proclaim 7th August 2009 as a “National Vacation Day”. All you need to do is to sign the petition. The more names collected, the higher the chances August 7 would be declared a National Vacation Day. Help HomeAway stand up for your rights to have an affordable trip to truly relax and reconnect with family and friends while breaking away from stress.


That’s not all, enter a contest by submitting a short text, video or photo indicating why you deserve a vacation saved by HomeAway and one lucky person would walk away with a $10,000 getaway to the vacation rental they choose and the two runners-up will each receive a $5,000 trip. The contest ends on 2nd July 2009. So, hurry up, you may be the $10,000 getaway winner!
