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

Once the frantic Christmas season is far behind us and the novelty of the \u2018new year, new me\u2019 wears off, January can sometimes feel like a bit of a stagnant month. The excitement of the holidays has long since vanished and the winter blues has most definitely settled in. One of the best ways to get out of a post Christmas slump is to organise your vacations for the year, giving yourself lots to look forward to!<\/span><\/p>\n

But have you ever wondered how some people can fit in so many holidays with only 25 days annual leave? Well, we\u2019ve uncovered the secret! Strategically placing your annual leave around national holidays can increase your days off from 25 to 54! Now you\u2019ll have time to take that 2 week <\/span>tour of Asia<\/span><\/a>, go wine tasting in <\/span>Italy<\/span><\/a> or see the famous Cherry Blossom season in <\/span>Japan<\/span><\/a>. The world is your oyster! <\/span><\/p>\n

Sound complicated? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve done the brunt of the leg work for you. Just follow the calendars below, book off your time and wait for those extra days off to roll on in. And In case you need a bit of inspiration, I\u2019ve added in a few tours that <\/span>Tucan Travel <\/span><\/a>recommend for those times of the year. Happy holidays!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

January is an underrated but hugely beneficial time to go on vacation. Prices of accommodation, flights and attractions are often at a low, and tourist numbers are much smaller than in summer. <\/span>Europe<\/span><\/a> is particularly beautiful at this time of year, with countries like <\/span>France<\/span> and <\/span>Austria<\/span> often draped in a blanket of white snow. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Martin Luther King Day, if you book the 4 days after you will have a total of 9 consecutive days off!<\/span><\/p>\n
