Good luck!

Hi everyone. As Julia mentioned, I'm off on another adventure. She wrote in my intro, "Dez Bartelt is who I want to be when I grow up."

Well, Julia, this is what I tell other women who make Missing Out on Lifethat statement: Don't wait - do it now. Life is too short to miss out on the adventure. There are no excuses.

574 million

That's the ridiculous number of vacation days Americans leave untouched every year, according to a 2007 Expedia survey. And you're missing out on more than just margaritas and tan lines.

Vacations help us feel less tense, tired and depressed.
They also keep us more satisfied with our relationships.

So whether your goal is to lie motionless on the beach in Puerto Rico, chase lions in Kenya or tack a few play days on to your business trip to San Francisco, it's high time you got of Dodge.

Or should I say your office?

Have you started planning your time away for 2008 yet? What are you waiting for?

Best of Both Adventures

Got a question for Dez? Post it here and I'll make sure she gets it.
