6With the current economy, travel and relaxation may not be at the top of your priority list, but in these stressful times, getting away is one of the best things you can do for your health and family unity. You don't have to go far. Sometimes the best surprises are only a few miles from home. The idea is to get away from "normal" and into "special" - relax the brain. Think about birds or fish or golf. Texas Little Trips suggests places for short trips where you can feel like you're in a world apart from every-day chaos. Enjoy a romantic weekend, shop, eat, talk or play.
