Just thinking about travel has been shown to make people happier. A May 2020 article in National Geographic reports that not only can travel planning serve as a healthy distraction and connection tool, it also offers a sense of control and the anticipation of happy memories, even when vaguely mapped out.

And we all know the importance and impact of the memories that are made, now more than ever.

We asked Chatter readers to share some of their favorite vacation memories and photos. Whether you're looking back or looking forward, may they serve as a reminder of life's special moments.
