Oh the places we’ll go. When we find the time. And get the days off work. And book the flights. And secure a baby/cat/house-sitter.
If a weekend break or staycation feels outside your grasp, a ‘build it and they will come’ attitude might just help to kick start your jet-setting. Start with the basics: luggage and a vague idea of a destination.
From Girls Only Getaways to Luxury Weekends, Couples Retreats and Mind and Body Boosting Breaks, we’ve got that part covered right here.
And when it comes to luggage, most of these are neat enough to sling over your shoulder in the airport lounge, yet roomy enough to hold an outfit or two, a swimsuit and a good book for the plane. What more could you want?
