Hidden benefits

I can’t believe it’s almost Labor Day weekend!  Where has the summer gone? Did you make some summer vacation memories this year? What about planning for some off season travel? 

 

While some schools have been back in session nearly a month, those who aren’t back yet, will be next week. 

Now, if you don’t have school aged children you might think that this week’s message doesn’t apply to you. Quite the contrary! With schools back in session it’s a great time to travel. Prices drop dramatically for September and October travel. Of course, the best values were scooped up months ago, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t plan for the future. While still avoiding traditional Winter and Spring break times, September through May travel can add a lot of value to your vacation budget. 

 

 

For those of you who do have school aged children, don’t forget to take a look in the piles of paper coming home for the Holiday schedule. I’ve mentioned the short school week in early November with some local school children only having two days of instruction the week of Veteran’s Day. Younger children also often get full or half days off during the Winter while older children are busy with exams. Both can be a great week to reconnect as a family or even for a getaway with your little ones.  Easter is April 1, 2018,  which means that, generally for public schools, there are two potential weeks for break. Private schools and Universities still tend to opt for an early March spring break. Those who haven’t already planned their spring break getaways would benefit from doing so sooner rather than later to get the best value.
