by Ram Vaas Travel Blogger

All vacations come to an end, which is perhaps the only part of a vacation no one enjoys. It is something that is inevitable and simply cannot be avoided. After travelling to scenic locations and taking Instagram-worthy pictures, enjoying the early morning sunrise and fun nights out, devouring the local cuisine and street food; it is difficult to come to terms with the end of a well-deserved holiday.

Before you know it, the post vacation blues begin to set in and you begin to dread getting back to your regular routine. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. Visit to places such as Sri Lanka, definitely leaves most feeling this way. Follow the tips below to evade the vacation letdown from the trip to the beautiful country for good-

Take extra days off:

As much as you’d want to squeeze every last drop of your holidays by the beach or a villa in Kirinda, consider giving yourself a few days before you get back to work. Giving yourself downtime will ensure you get back to work without feeling the blues. Adding a couple of days to your vacation request will give you enough time to get back to your routine and ready to take on whatever lies ahead.

Think ahead:

Making sure you have as many tasks completed before you head off on your vacation, is probably one of the best ways to avoid post-vacation blues. You’ll definitely be more relaxed when you get back, as the last thing you want to do is to come back from a dreamy vacation only to be bombarded with work. The same applies for paying bills and being up to date with chores around the house. For a smooth transition make sure, you’ve ticked off all items from your list.

Prepare yourself :

A lot of people may completely avoid thinking about work that may cause them to stress out during a vacation, which is fair as holidays are meant to free you of the strains of everyday life. But a simple step such as preparing a list of things to do while on the flight back home will ensure that you don’t have to address all tasks at once when you’re home.

Bring some of the vacation back:

The process of truly enjoying a vacation includes reminiscing the moments with friends and family when you’re back. Show them pictures from your stay at beautiful places such as the Polhena Beach Hotel and picturesque locations you’ve visited. Ironically enough, going through the different memories you’ve made through photographs may make you miss the vacation but it will also help you with the blues you’ve been feeling. Apart from purchasing numerous souvenirs as gifts for near and dear ones; grab a few for yourself this time too as they are wonderful reminders of your vacation.

Follow these steps to take the sting out of returning from an unforgettable vacation. Moreover, you can begin planning for your next trip to bring back the excitement!
