Get the girls together, pack up the family or surprise your partner—it’s time to plan a weekend getaway! Taking the weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is a great way to shake things up. Vacation weekends are great for those who need a trip to rest and recharge without putting too much planning or thought into a full-blown vacation.
But where to go for a weekend getaway? What to pack for a weekend getaway? And how do you even plan a weekend getaway? No worries—there are more than enough destinations throughout the United States that you probably never knew existed. There are many places to travel within the States, but also some places in Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean that are easily accessible for a weekend and give you the feeling of a true vacation—even if it’s only for a few days.
If you don’t have time to cross state lines, try exploring a new city or town near you and doing a staycation. What makes these weekend trip places special is the ability to experience so much in a short amount of time. These destinations maximize your time so you can experience transportation to a world of vacation in three days or less. Visiting a new part of town, swinging by a museum you haven’t seen before, trying a new restaurant or sleeping in a bed other than your own can give you the escape you’ve been missing.
