Hello Steemit Fretz!

Welcome to my Travel 101 Series, where you'll get tips and tricks on how to make your travels and adventures a hassle-free trip. You're going to learn the ropes of how to become a stress-free traveler.

My project at work runs until November so we’re busy majority of the year and once in a while I could go on a vacation for a week or so but the waiting time for that vacation is too long. Sometimes me and my fretz would go out for the weekend just to relax and recuperate for the next week ahead.

Making the Most of a Two-Day Vacation

The different tasks, hitting quotas and hectic schedules at work sometimes hit our breaking point. When you’re stressed out, you always think of the negative things and there will come a point you will feel that you’re useless and not helping your coworkers or your team.

If things at work won’t permit you to have a longer vacation, you can opt for a shorter vacation on your day-off or over the weekend. In this way, you can get yourself back up and prepare for the task and leaving all the negative feelings behind

Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your mini-vacation:

1. Don’t go too far

Don’t go waste your time going somewhere far. You have to look into the time spent on going there and getting back. You can try going out of the city and go to the province. It’s best that you spend most of your time chillaxin’ rather than spend your time on the road just to reach your destination.

Here in Cebu, you can find different destination spots away from the city. It could be one or two hours away. I don't have to worry about that here.

If you want to go fly, you also have to consider that there are no delayed flights, the weather is good or whatsoever, or else you’ll end up missing work and that is something you should definitely avoid.

2. Prepare and Plan Ahead

I always make sure that I have the things that I need ready before going to work. In this way, I can just bring my things to the office and directly go to my chosen destination after. In this way, I can save on travel time and arrive early at my destination and do the things that I had already planned.

For those who want to insert touring around the place on your two-day vacation, that’s fine as well. As long as you have it all written out and you have done some research on the activities that you are going to do for the day. It’s best that it’s not too stressful or strenuous or you’ll end up getting a sore body and you’re not rejuvenated when you get back to work.

3. Get a Massage

Another way that you can freshen up and get ready to battle is giving your body some pampering by getting a massage. This can help loosen up your tight muscles and smoothen your blood flow.

Try to ask if your accommodation offers such services so you don’t have to go out and look for spa establishments nearby. Some of them have room service available so you’ll have the privacy and relaxation that you need.

This is something I should add on my next mini-vacation. Although I’ve had massage sessions but minus the vacation, I’d like to do both when I do this the next time.

Hope you are all having a cozy weekend my fretz! Thanks for dropping by!
