\u00a0What do you splurge on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going on a trip is a treat in itself. But while you\u2019re at it, you might as well treat yourself a little more\u2014especially if it\u2019s<\/span> your first trip in a while<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wherever you\u2019re headed, we\u2019ve got a few ideas for<\/span> things to splurge on<\/span>, as well as some of the best places to do it. Remember, vacation is the time to live it up!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"African
Why not treat yourself to a little spa session?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spa Day: <\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason \u201cspa day\u201d comes to mind when we think about treating ourselves\u2014it feels great to truly relax! Whether you\u2019re booking a massage in a tent near the beach somewhere, or getting a facial or other treatment at your<\/span> ship\u2019s spa<\/span><\/a>, kicking off your vacay with a spa day is a great way to leave stress behind.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Italian
A handmade craft makes a perfect souvenir.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Souvenir Splurge: <\/b>You should always get something to remember your trip when you\u2019re back home, and the options to splurge are endless. Maybe it\u2019s an extra nice bottle of rum from <\/span>Jamaica<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Barbados<\/span><\/a>, or artwork or handcrafts from indigenous people in <\/span>Hawaii<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there are plenty of unique<\/span> souvenirs to take home from Europe<\/span><\/a>, from leather goods from <\/span>Spain<\/span><\/a> to the world-renowned blown glass of <\/span>Italy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A
A sunset sailing trip is a splurge worthy excursion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Special Experience: <\/b>There will be plenty of activities to treat yourself to while traveling, so pick one or two and go big! Maybe that means a<\/span> sunset sailing in Santorini<\/span><\/a>, or a private wine tasting at a vineyard in <\/span>Australia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re more of an<\/span> adventure junkie though<\/span><\/a>, maybe you\u2019d prefer zip lining through a jungle in Costa Rica or scuba diving at the second largest barrier reef in <\/span>Belize<\/span><\/a>, or mushing a dogsled in <\/span>Alaska<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A
If you’re traveling to an island, a seafood dinner is a perfect memorable meal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Memorable Meals: <\/b>Clearly you\u2019ll be eating out on vacation\u2014it\u2019s one of the best parts! But it can really be worth it to decide on a certain night when you\u2019ll go all out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Call ahead, even before you leave home, if you have a special restaurant in mind at your destination. Maybe it\u2019s a seafood specialty in the <\/span>Bahamas<\/span><\/a> or a popular pasta dish near <\/span>Pisa<\/span><\/a>. But remember, there can be<\/span> special dining options on board<\/span><\/a> if you\u2019re setting sail. Don\u2019t forget dessert!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dressing The Part: <\/b>Treating yourself to a vacation outfit is an easy one\u2014you can do it before you leave or during your trip too! Getting yourself a new bathing suit, dinner attire, jewelry, or even just sunglasses can help get you excited about your trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forgot to bring something? Pick it up while traveling and call it a gift to yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Smiling
Even a workout can be a way to splurge!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Work It Out: <\/b>For some of us, a great workout may be what lets us relax. If so, consider treating yourself to a little something extra like a personal training session or a spin or yoga class. Then again, you can make your workout part of the fun in your destination too. How about a hike up the Pitons in <\/span>St. Lucia<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Your Time: <\/b>Literally. Your vacation time means whatever you want to do, so spend it how you want! Sleep in late. Take a nap in a hammock. Linger after dinner for a leisurely cup of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of all, don\u2019t think about work! Put your phone on airplane mode if you need to (so you can still take pictures with it).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0What do you splurge on?
