Statistically, January and February are not wealthy months. In most of the Northern hemisphere, it's the bleakest, dreariest part of winter. Depression sets in and merchants prepare for a long haul as people recover from holiday spending. With no major holiday in sight between New Year's and Easter, many people find these winter months a depressing time of year.
But guess what? This is the PERFECT time for a weekend mini-holiday. That's because it's the off season, meaning that hotels, airfare, and many other travel aspects are ridiculously inexpensive. This is especially true of tourist destinations, because so much of their revenue depends on tourism. They will go to extreme lengths to make their locations popular even during the off season!
Of course, if you're planning to travel someplace warm and tropical on a long weekend, you'll probably find increased prices. But if you're able to take a couple days off in the middle of the week, or create a long weekend of your own, you can find some very good deals at this time of year. And really, what better way to beat the winter blues than a break from the routine?
Some ideas to consider:
-a romantic weekend getaway
-a trip to someplace in the (far) south
-a brief ski holiday
-a visit to a place you've always meant to see, but never found time to include in your holidays
The important thing is, have fun and enjoy the off season!
