replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander I usually like to use it as a bookend for longer travel, which means more vacation for fewer vacation days. But if I don't have travel plans then I'm hoping to go somewhere local! I'm thinking Craigleith Provincial Park this weekend! #InspireToWander

A1.) Depends on the weekend, if a group is going somewhere, etc. Always varies but you can bet #PubClub is where the fun is on long weekends! #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1 We always take off for long weekend getaways, usually it's a short drive from home like our romantic getaways @Motelluxe in the Gatineau Hills is a luxurious #Airstream #InspireToWander

replying to @MandyMPower @MandyMPower @IBBtravel If you can do speculative travel bookings (via points or easy refundable value like Southwest Airlines) we've found it to be easy to get availability on the Monday if booking way in advance (we're already booking next year's 4th of July travel) #InspireToWander

A2: I'll normally keep travel time to a few hours to ensure I can make the most of the weekend but I'm happy to do that via car, train, bus or flying! #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @OliviaRutt @IBBtravel I'm not looking at the screen the whole time! Ha. Constant "traffic" on The Strand (walkers, runners, bicyclists, etc.). Beach volleyball class on the sand. Have @radiomville playing too. Any Parrotheads out there!? #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: I would travel, and have traveled, across the country for a weekend. I'm pro at getting the most done with 24-48 hours somewhere. #InspireToWander

replying to @byland_and_sea @byland_and_sea Totally agreed. It helps maximize vacation days #InspireToWander

replying to @MandyMPower @MandyMPower YES. It's crazy how much a day can change the price of a flight! #InspireToWander

A2: If it's just the long weekend and no additional days, we usually stay in the #USA. But, there's still a ton of great options when doing so #inspiretowander

replying to @SterlingTravelr @SterlingTravelr @OliviaRutt @IBBtravel Hey buddy. Yes, it's almost back to "normal" for us. I may have to put on shoes - it's been flip flops all summer! #InspireToWander
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1217453957423017985/zLti5DSf_normal.jpg)
A2: I would drive no further than 7ish hours. Ideally 3 hours or less. I don't want to spend the whole trip in the car. #InspireToWander

A2 I'd normally say less than 4 hours driving, but we did make the 9-hour trip to the Smokies for Memorial Day to use up miles on my lease that was about to end lol. #InspireToWander

#inspiretowander A 2) Driving, no more than a 5 hour car ride. Flying, probably no more than 7 hours of flying.

A2 #InspireToWander I don’t trust my fellow motorists on holiday weekends, so if I do go somewhere, it’s a day trip typically less than 100 miles. I might go to the ocean or Portland which are about an hour away. I might also take the train to Seattle for baseball for the day.
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1143368021702062081/wPJXp8Rr_normal.png)
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: I might do a 5-6 hour drive or maybe a short 2-3 hour flight! #InspireToWander
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/721381328948719616/J0fQKlA5_normal.jpg)
A2) We'll travel as far as we can if it's fun and worth it (usually on points) We've occasionally gone across the continent on a long weekend! #InspireToWander #Seattle #travel

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: We'd usually do somewhere not too far - maybe take a train to visit my family down in Somerset, or a short flight to somewhere in Europe. Luckily we're really close to Gatwick so we've got lots of choice! Last year we did Amsterdam and Dublin. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: If it's a three-day weekend, our family would probably travel up to six hours from home (by car). We're taking some extra days around a weekend later in the year, and we'll be 12 hours from home then. #InspireToWander

replying to @nomadbytrade13 @nomadbytrade13 Sometimes driving ends up taking longer than you originally think, too! Happens to me all the time with traffic and such. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2 #InspireToWander if I am pulling our trailer we like to stay within a 2h drive from home. Mostly enjoy the family friendly @KOAKampgrounds like the one at #CardinalKOA for long weekend fun!

A2. Depends. If staying local, I'd probably just do day trips to a town I want to explore or see family. If I'm taking advantage of the time and having a long vacay, I'll go further! Europe, Hawaii. wherever! #InspireToWander https://t.co/qeRaIWE9bf

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander Travel for sure! Doing the drive to Québec City for the first time for this long weekend! It's a great way to go a little bit further from home without using vacation days. #InspireToWander

replying to @NoFixedHome @NoFixedHome @inspiretowander Oh how I miss the flights in Europe. Here in Canada it's tough to get a cheap flight places! Not impossible, but definitely not as easy as it is for you guys! #InspireToWander
