Resolution Solutions, 2011: Part II

In our last blog posting, we reminded readers that “taking a trip” is among the top ten New Year’s resolutions, according to USA.gov.  This three-part series is dedicated to helping travelers not only keep their New Year’s resolutions, but have fun in the persuit of wellness, happiness and romance in 2011.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN chief medical correspondent suggests that “you don’t make resolutions based on what is bothering you or what is on your mind at that time”.  Instead, make the fulfillment of the resolution fun, and you will insure that you stick to it.

We’ve polled members of the Distinctive Inns of New England and found a number of ideas for fulfilling fun-filled resolutions.  In Part I of  series we suggested learning to cook like an Italian through the Gateway Inn’s  Italian Cooking School series.  Next we’re going to explore the Stress Be Gone concept at the Rabbit Hill Inn.
