The Calendar Classic<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nGet that massive marker pen and let \u2018X\u2019 mark the spot. Schedule into your morning routine the daily <strong>cross of impending holiday glory on your calendar.<\/strong>\u00a0You can see the departure date edging nearer and nearer before your very eyes. Plus, there\u2019s something quite satisfying about drawing that big cross.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">2. Count the Sleeps<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nCounting sleeps, not sheep. Although counting sheep might help you to nod off amid all of the holiday excitement as the day comes nearer. <strong>How many sleeps<\/strong> to go until your next getaway, Holidaymakers?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">3. Be\u00a0Creative<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nFeed your inner child, or if you have children, let them work their magic. Make your own <strong>boss-level calendar<\/strong> that opens doors to sneaky peeks of getaway awesomeness. It\u2019s like Christmas, but day 25 will be warm! Let your imagination run wild.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">4. Get Technical<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nSet a <strong>countdown on your phone<\/strong> that reminds you each day how long there is left until you\u2019re watching the air-hostesses do their thing. You can even go as far as watching those seconds drop off. It&#8217;ll make those early morning get ups much more bearable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18478\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimg.bluebaytravel.co.uk\/uploads\/2016\/02\/phone_countdown.jpg\" alt=\"phone_countdown\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/phone_countdown.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/phone_countdown-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">5. The Routine Countdown<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes what matters is the <strong>number of days left in the routine<\/strong>. The time in the rush hour traffic, the days left on the school run, the number of days at the desk. Count them down, Holidaymakers. What\u2019s more, this tactic tricks your holiday brain as there\u2019s less days on the countdown. A big win all round.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">6. Pack an Item a Day<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nYour suitcase is out of its handy holder, which means the getaway is on the horizon! Each day you can<strong> check another item off the list<\/strong> as it finds its way into the suitcase.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">7. Chalk-board\u00a0Shenanigans\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nForget the shopping list, re use that<strong> chalk-board<\/strong> for your <strong>holiday countdown<\/strong> and watch the number fall into single figures.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">8. Shout it from the Rooftops<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u2019re excited. We\u2019re excited. Stretch your vocal chords and shout it out to the neighbourhood each morning. Okay, too far. But <strong>telling friends and family how long there is left<\/strong> is certainly a way to share the holiday buzz.<\/p>\n<p>There it is. Eight epic ways.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Involved\"><\/span>Get Involved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How many minutes, sleeps, crosses, screams of utter delight\u00a0until you&#8217;re soaking up those sunny skies, Holidaymakers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holiday is booked.
