The Best Vacations Run 2 to 3 Days
Vacations are supposed to give a person a break. Regardless of whether a vacation is spent going to another place or just relaxing at home, I typically don't let it run more than 2 to 3 days, or if going away internationally, no more than 1 to 1.5 weeks. It may seem short, but in fact, it is just right.
That amount of time should give you just enough of a break to relieve some of the stresses of everyday happenings, while still making it manageable when you return to work or your everyday activities.
When a vacation is extended beyond the indicated points, it can make adjusting back to reality difficult. People are already having a tough time going from a regular weekend back to the normal weekday schedule. Make going on vacation a breeze and coming back from one a pleasant transition.
If you are from the east coast of the United States, which is where I'm based, some pleasant and quick vacation destinations to consider for a 2 - 3 day vacation by air or car includes (in no particular order):
- Las Vegas
- Orlando
- Montreal
- Philadelphia
- Toronto
- Washington, D.C.
- Watkins Glen (in New York)
