Just like exercise, keeping your mind balanced and eating
right, a holiday is very valuable to your over-all well being It helps us relax
and gain a new perspective on life.
Because times are tough, people are taking shorter holiday
trips closer to home to save on accommodation and travel costs. Shorter, more
frequent trips like these can be better for you as well. It means less stress
about transport and time spent making travel arrangements and more time to
unwind. It has been proven that short, more frequent holidays are more
effective for stress management.
Long weekend trips are very popular and if you are planning
on going away for a long weekend, it’s important to book in advance. For
popular destinations, booking around three months in advance is usually
necessary if your trip falls on a long weekend. To avoid this you can take a
Friday or a Monday off work for a long weekend trip without the traffic.
Even when you are aiming to save and cut back on expenses, a
reward once in a while can be good for your financial morale. Use a weekend
away as motivation to save more or reward yourself for saving when you can
afford to go away for a little while. We’re not talking five star accommodation
here, because self-catering or camping can be a lot of fun at a fraction of the
price.
Although, if you can afford to stay at a hotel, make sure
you book in advance to get the best prices and ask about discounts. Sun City give considerable discounts if you
book for longer than four days. Their most affordable hotel is the Cabanas
Hotel.
February isn't a bad time to get away. It’s still in the
thick of summer and if you jump now you might discover very exciting holiday
spots at good prices that aren't fully booked yet.

Safety in South Africa. It’s worth reading if you haven’t travelled in South
Africa before.
