This blog post relates to the Australian calendar, but the theory is essentially the same for other countries. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the excitement in the long lead up to Christmas worn off and the buzz of the New Year slowly disappearing, we all need something to look forward to. January is the perfect time to organise your holiday calendar. It\u2019s also the time for resolutions. Visit those places you\u2019ve been dying to see and book those tours you\u2019ve been dreaming about.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you plan your holidays as and when you find a spare week to squeeze them in, you\u2019ll find that your annual leave is gone in a flash. But, if you do a little more planning in January, you could double your holiday time! So here\u2019s the secret – take your annual leave around the public holidays. That way, you will have more consecutive days off and can extend that 7 day holiday into 10 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

You just need to do a little more planning in January, but it definitely pays off. And best of all, if you live in Australia we\u2019ve done most of it for you! Just follow the calendar below, book your days off with work and wait for the long, relaxing holidays to creep up! Take that 10 day <\/span>tour to Asia <\/span><\/a>you\u2019ve been dreaming of, hop on a short <\/span>tour around Italy,<\/span> or even head off on a cruise around the <\/span>Galapagos Islands<\/span><\/a>. All is possible when you know how!<\/span><\/p>\n

Just in case you aren\u2019t like me with a long list of \u2018places to visit\u2019 stashed away, I\u2019ve added in a few suggestions for tours which are perfect at that time of the year. <\/span>Tucan Travel<\/span><\/a> also have a heavily discounted <\/span>sale<\/span><\/a> up until the beginning of February if you\u2019re really organised!<\/span><\/p>\n

April 2019<\/b><\/h2>\n

April is one of the best times to go on holiday, especially if you\u2019re after an adventure like chasing the Northern Lights in <\/span>Iceland!<\/span>\u00a0It’s also in the middle of the famous cherry blossom season in <\/span>Japan<\/span><\/a> where the entire country is painted in a delicate hue of baby pink. <\/span><\/p>\n

To make your annual holiday stretch further in April, you can book off just 3 days leave and take a 10 day holiday! Or turn 7 days of annual leave into an epic 16 day adventure tour!<\/span><\/p>\n
