MAXIMIZE PTO
Thanksgiving Stretch | Nov 21–29, 2026 PTO Used: 3 days → Total Time Off: 9 days How you’re maximizing your time:
Thanksgiving already anchors a long weekend. Taking PTO Monday through Wednesday extends it into a nine-day international travel window—ideal for long-haul trips. Where to go & why it works: Safari (South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania): November is an excellent shoulder season with fewer crowds and strong wildlife viewing. Japan: Autumn foliage, cultural depth, and cooler weather make this a visually stunning time to visit. Dubai: Luxury, warmth, and global connectivity during a quieter travel period. Why now: These destinations require longer stays to feel worthwhile—this window makes them feasible. Advisor insight: This is one of the best windows for bucket-list travel and multi-generational family trips. Holiday Finale | Dec 19–27, 2026 PTO Used: 3 days → Total Time Off: 9 days How you’re maximizing your time: By taking PTO during the quieter weekdays between Christmas and New Year’s, you stretch holiday time into a full nine-day travel window. Where to go & why it works: Paris or European Christmas markets: Festive atmosphere, culture, and seasonal charm. Caribbean: A warm-weather escape during the coldest time of year. Alps: A luxury winter finale for ski lovers. Why now: This is one of the most competitive travel periods of the year—planning early is essential. Advisor insight: The perfect way to close the year with intention—whether through culture, celebration, or restoration.
