Welcome...
Why do we work? What rewards to strive for? For many of us, it's an escape, a holiday, a vacation. That is what The Weekend Getaway is all about... our desire to "get away" from our daily routine and discover, even rediscover what the world has to offer For a weekend, a "long weekend" or an extended holiday, our objective is to maximize every ounce of benefit from our trips near and afar.

The Weekend Getaway... what we're all about;

  • Providing un-biased, independent, original reviews of destinations by our own editors and contributors. This means we have actually visited each locale featured and our opinions are based on our own, personal experience.
  • Offering up suggestions - based on having been there - to the traveler to make the most out of every holiday and vacation.
  • Providing a resource and jumping off point for essential travel information, knowledge.
  • Pointing our readers to editor-approved travel and booking providers whom we have a personal relationship with.
  • Offering great values and selection in travel gear and accessories from our own, proprietary online catalog.
