I just love these stories!  With rain and clouds fogging up my Friday, I needed a prettier view, to be sure!

So if stress is getting the better of you these days, psychology professors at the University of Michigan have done some research that confirms the importance of getting away from it all.  Drs. Rachel and Stephen Kaplan say it could be possible that you’re suffering from Directed Attention Fatigue, and there’s an easy prescription for this malady: Take a vacation or trip somewhere breathtakingly beautiful. The doctors actually found that gazing at natural scenes through a window relieves exactly the kind of fatigue caused by multiple demands on your attention (like your Blackberry, iPod, laptop, cell phone, television–you get the idea).

You like cold weather?  There’s something in this little show for you too.  Exotic destinations?  You bet!  Hills, valleys and gorgeous ocean views too.  What in the world am I talking about?  Well, hotels with the world’s most beautiful views, of course!  Whether you travel for business like many of us (yes), are a corporate housing owner or manager interested in new ideas,  or you’re desperately in need of a vaca at just the right spot, you’ll definitely enjoy these cyber “views.”  Take a look and let me know which destination is your dream location!

Enjoy!
