The Great Escape
A Vacation Planner for Busy People Who Want to Take a Real Break from Work & Life
ESCAPE FROM WORK:
• without feeling frazzled when you arrive at your destination
• without feeling tethered to devices while you're gone
• without feeling drained when you return home
Whether you’re leaving town for one day, one week, one month, or one year, experience the feeling of true relaxation, and be able to return to work without dread. While you can use the information in this book to help you prepare for work-related trips, the ultimate goal of this book is to help you experience smooth sailing on your personal journeys.
"The Great Escape is a wonderful how-to guide for leaving work behind. It’s full of tips – all of those “little details” - that can be forgotten in the rush to leave town. The format makes it easy to find any recommendation you might need for less stressful travel."
- David E. W. Price, II, Secrétaire Général du Comité des Jumelages et Relations Internationales de la Ville d'Avignon and contributor to Rick Steves France and Rick Steves Provence

“I’ve read a lot of travel books, but yours stands out. You have as much story-telling as advice-giving. It’s compelling, and you give practical advice.
I have the travel bug real bad now! And I also want a glass of wine.”
- Mary E. Howell, Copy Editor
“I was excited yet nervous about my first trip to Europe. As a small-business owner, I was particularly concerned about how I would put my company on ‘autopilot’ for two weeks. The Great Escape quickly turned into my field manual. I put Helene Segura’s tips into place, took a deep breath and left all my worries back in the States while I enjoyed the sights, sounds and tastes of Europe! When I got back, my clients were all smiles and we jumped back into their projects without a hitch. I had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to The Great Escape!”
- Derek Hart, Creative Director at Get the Gigs
