Just like life, vacations can be unpredictable. Rarely a trip goes exactly as planned. Challenges like quarrels or getting lost are peppered in along with laughter, scenery and delicious food.
So, what makes the difference between remembering the good vs. the bad?
According to The American Psychological Association, our memories are shaped over time, depending on how we choose to recall them. Simply put, to remember a trip as a positive experience, focus on the positive memories.
