We all live very busy lives. It seems the average person’s life gets busier and busier every year. As a result of this, it can be difficult to find time to book a vacation. Does this mean that busy people need to give up their downtime? Of course not! The only way to do this is to make sure you plan effectively. Make the best decisions possible, and you’ll be sure to enjoy your mini vacation to the max.
1. Don’t Book Your Accommodations Too Far From The Action.
On a short weekend getaway, don’t make the mistake of booking your hotel or sleeping accommodation too far away from all the action. With a short vacation, you’re going to have limited time. You don’t want to have to waste it on travel time between destinations. Plus, if your accommodations are too far from the action, you’re going to end up spending much more on transportation than you need to.
2. Don’t Over Schedule Yourself.
You’re not going to be able to do or see everything. Focus on the things you want to see and do the most and schedule accordingly. This is a weekend getaway, after all. You don’t want to end up returning home feeling more exhausted than when you left.
3. Don’t Book Multiple Connections.
If you’re flying to your weekend destination, you may be tempted to take the cheapest flight. There’s nothing wrong with this because everyone wants to save money where they can. But those few bucks you’ve saved won’t be a whole lot of comfort to you if you’re wasting precious hours of your brief getaway on layovers or dealing with delays.
4. Don’t Go To Destinations That Are Difficult To Get To.
Time is almost gold when you have a short getaway and you don’t want to waste a precious minute. Try avoiding destinations that require several forms of transportation to get to.
5. Don’t Forget To Map Out The Location Of Your Weekend Destination.
Unless you’re going to a resort, you’re going to want to map out the area so you don’t lose time trying to figure out where you are and how to get to the next destination.
