If You Could Leave This Weekend, Where Would You Go?

Vacation planning can be overwhelming and time consuming. As travel agents, we know this first hand. But one of the hardest parts of the process seems to always center around "where do we want to go?" Well maybe this short article can help show you how easy it can be to get away if you let your heart be the guide.

Ask yourself, if you could leave this weekend without much thought and planning, where would you go? What is one of the first things that come to mind? Maybe you are like so many and just need some examples of how easy it can be to get away if you just knew where you wanted to head off to. Here are 3 quick examples of destinations that can make for a great quick getaway:

• If you are west of the Mississippi River, how about a quick snorkel and sunset watching trip to Maui? Maui offers a lot of direct flights from many airports in areas like Dallas, Denver, LA, San Francisco etc. This makes Maui a great option for a quick getaway.

• If you are east of the Mississippi River, how about a foodie trip to Rome for some great pizza and pasta? Again, many airport hubs in the eastern part of our Country offer direct flights to Rome making it an easy getaway idea.

• How about a quick flight to one of our nation's wonderful national parks? Maybe some mountain air in Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon is just what the vacation Dr ordered.

Hopefully these can show you how a quick getaway can happen if you just don't overhtink it. Not all great trips need a ton of advance planning. In fact, so much of the time, it is the unplanned quick trips that turn out to be the best and most memorable.

We would love to hear what some of your answers would be if someone asked you this question today. Where would be the first place that would come to mind? We are here to help make these quick trips happen.
