It is difficult to explain, but the joy you feel when you unexpectedly find money in a pair of pants and that of a circumstantial long weekend have the same energy –– both incite a special kind of excitement.
Keeping in mind that we have just surpassed a year that was no less than apocalyptic, a few extra days in 2021 to take your mind off things and lay in bed, or even travel (safely) can only do you good.
And so, here is a list of long weekends you must keep in mind if you wish to make use of extra days off to the fullest. Happy relaxing!
