It’s that time of year again! When talk around the water cooler turns to how much vacation time you still have on the books. It’s not too late to plan a last minute getaway and avoid the inevitable “honey do” list if you use that vacation time to do work around the house.
“This forgone time results in $61.4 billion in forfeited benefits annually.” as reported by Project Time Off
If you are one of the many Americans not utilizing the benefit of your paid vacation days, what are you waiting for?
Here are 3 hot European destinations to stretch your vacation budget and use those days in 2017 before you lose them!
#1 – London
London is an easy hop for those of you who don’t have a full two weeks to spend abroad. Full of culture and fun it’s an easy destination to get away for a short vacation to reconnect with your spouse while you catch a broadway quality show and enjoy the pub scene.
#2 – Iceland
Who knew that a country with the word “ice” in it’s name could be such a hot destination? Sure it’s winter, so the days are short – but that makes conditions ideal for the possibility of viewing the Northern Lights! With a short flight time from the US we are seeing interest in Iceland skyrocket for the coming months.
#3 – A river cruise visiting the European Christmas markets
For the past several years these ships would fill up months and months in advance. More recently so much inventory has been added with the release of new ships that believe it or not, there are still a few cabins available for sailings between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. There are some wonderful promotions for European airfare during this time as well – there is no better time to experience Europe via the rivers!
