Vacation Envy

Vacation envy is on the rise in Canada. Apparently not taking a vacation makes you jealous of others who return from one.

Vacation deprivation symptoms can lead to vacation envy - feelings of jealousy when a co-worker or friend returns from vacation. This year’s survey revealed that 42 per cent of Canadians admit they have felt vacation envy at some point in their life. Some Canadians are more susceptible to envy - women (48 per cent) are more likely than men (35 per cent) to have felt vacation envy and younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 (59 per cent) are twice as likely to have suffered from vacation envy, compared to those over the age of 54 (26 per cent).

    This seems like a good place to mention that, less than an hour ago, I made the final arrangements for Jana-who-creates and my girls’ weekend.

    That’s the sure cure for vacation envy!

    That manor is gorgeous, but I’m such a sucker for a covered porch. You can smoke and drink and talk. It sounds awesome. Not that I’m encouraging smoking, drinking and talking. No. No.

    CC - I like that twin bedded room a lot - with it’s built in bookcases? I suffer from built-ins envy. =)
