Quotes to ponder:
"Rather than waiting all year for a two-week vacation to roll around, why not realize these benefits during the two-day vacation that’s waiting for you every weekend?"
"Those who treated the weekend as if it was a vacation were significantly happier when Monday arrived than those that didn’t."
"Something different, something exciting, but cheap, simple, short, and on your doorstep."
