In this tough economy, a week-long vacation just isn’t an option for many. Some can’t afford to take time off of work. Others are too busy to get away for an entire week. Airlines can be a hassle, or too expensive. For those with young children, finding someone to watch the kids for a week is impossible, and some just don’t want to leave the children that long.
