You're hard at work 5 days a week and truly look forward to weekends. It's a time for you to unwind, de-stress and decompress. For those of us with normal 9 to 5's, they're our great escape and truthfully the only thing keeping us going throughout the week.

In other words, we LIVE for the weekend. For most of us, Saturday and Sunday mean relaxing at home, going to the movies with friends or hitting the beach (amongst other fun activities). But how great would it be to actually get away for the weekend?
