With so much to do ,going on holiday is certainly no vacation.First, there's the flight to arrange , then the hotel or villa to book, and that's before you've sorted out the delicate matter of the beach outfit ,evening wear and reading material.

For much of the year we fantasise about a long break from the relentless drive of the everyday grind. But making our dream holiday a reality is what makes the stress really kick in , so it is little wonder it takes most holidaymakers a good few days to relax after their arrival. Now matter how idyllic the surroundings,there's no immediate way to simply forget all about work, the children's schooling , the leaking roof and al those other domestic issues we long to escape.

Susan Quilliam , psychologist,body language expert and regular TVand radio commentator, states that stress creates actual changes in the body's hormonal  balance and these take a while to dissipate. Ms Quilliam says that stress such as that caused by trying to arrange a holiday , creates hormonal changes in the body, including mood alteration. The result is that it takes the body a certain amount of time to regain its hormonal balance and become stress-free.

We can suffer from anxiety , irritability and a range of more serious psychological problems including mild depression . The main point is that if we get stressed before the holiday , we not may be able to relax sufficiently to enjoy ourselves-often for several days after our arrival.

Ms Quilliam points out that taking a holiday is no longer a question of catching a bus t o the nearest seaside resort with your bucket and spade. Today's pressurised lifestyles mean that going on holiday is a lot more stressful . Wenot only have to organise foreign travel and negotiate long ,complex journeys, we also have to settle our home and work matters before we go.

Add in potential tension with travel partners and the psychological pressures of high expectations, and by the time we arrive at our destination , we're stressed to the max! So according to Ms. Quilliam the secret to a free stress holiday is planning and havin relistic expectations, This means concluding any unfinished work in the office and ensuring the children are sufficiently entertained during the trip.
