For those of us who love to travel, having enough vacation days can be an issue. As travelers ourselves, we were always looking for ways to extend our own vacation. This simple how-to tip can help maximize your time off and allow more time for your travels. Plan your trip around a holiday. Taking just one day off will give you a nice four day weekend getaway. If are lucky to have any or all of these holidays off, your best bet is to plan to take extended weekends around a few holidays. This will give you several fun long weekend trips while using a minimal amount of vacation days.
