Take Short Breaks - A Great Travel Idea

One of the easiest forms of travel is simply to take short breaks. For instance, a long weekend is a great way to get away from work, school or a boring home life. A short weekend or an afternoon will do nicely, too.

Try these suggestions:

• Check your local newspaper for ideas.
  
  
• Type "Weekend Travel Ideas" + the name of your city into Google.
  
  
• Check a local entertainment magazine for events or restaurant menus.
  
  
• Take in an ethnic restaurant and ask the owners or waiters what is happening locally in their neighborhoods. See if there is any community notice board.
  
  
  

• Or just get into your car a drive. Explore the country side.
  
  
• Find a great hotel, cottage or Bed and Breakfast to escape. It always a good idea to take Short Breaks.
  
  
• Stop off at a neighborhood sports complex for a little league baseball game.
  
  
• Go shopping in a town you've never visited before.
  
  
• Jump on a bus and go to the end of the line. You can't get lost. To return, take the bus back.
  
  
• Stop off and investigate anything that captures your interest.
  
  
• Get a massage at one those inexpensive sit down places at the mall.
  
  
• Visit a local spa and treat yourself to a treatment.
  
  
• See a play. Talk to the players afterwards and find out their attitude to the work they are doing. This is easier in local or high school plays.
  
  
  

• Find a tiny café and stay the day.

• Take a local hike. Ask at any sports or camping store for ideas.
  
  

• Go camping. Rent or borrow the equipment.
