If you are anything like me, you are always looking forward to your next vacation. Even if it is a year away, you can guarantee I am counting down the days! While big week-long vacations in faraway destinations are certainly very exciting, I have come to recognize humble weekend trips can be just as worthwhile.
I know in my family as well as many others, there may only be enough work leave/money to go on a big trip a handful of times during the year. This is where the weekend trip comes in handy. With a little creativity, and the help of your favorite travel agent (which I hope is me!), a weekend adventure can be just as refreshing and adventurous. Weekend trips are great for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, or just because!
The first major aspect to consider for a weekend trip is where to go. Start to think about any nearby cities, parks, or attractions that you would like to see in a comfortable traveling distance for a weekend. For example, visiting a nearby city, having a spa weekend, or exploring a nearby national park, are some easily doable weekend trips! For those with a bigger budget, even flying somewhere for the weekend can be done.
Still can’t think of anything? This is where your travel agent comes in handy! Part of my job is to help you find the perfect destination, whether it be for a week in the Caribbean or a weekend close to home. You are likely already busy enough, so letting a travel agent handle the details can make the planning process much less painful! Not to mention, having someone that will work hard to plan a vacation within a budget that you can comfortably spend.
Weekend getaways are truly worth the time and money. Just a short time away can really be exactly what is needed to feel refreshed and relaxed so you can be the best version of yourself when you return. With a little help from your travel agent, your next vacation could be just a few weekends away!
