It might be the shortest month of the year, but February packs a real punch in the holiday department.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

Here are ten reasons why farewelling summer with a spontaneous trip this February really should be on your agenda:<\/p>\n

1. You didn\u2019t go away over Christmas (or you did)<\/strong>
\nIf you worked through the Christmas break, there\u2019s a good chance you resented all those holiday snaps popping up in your Facebook feed.<\/p>\n\"<\/a>\n

Return the favour with your own brag-worthy escape now. And even if you did go on a Christmas break, it probably feels like a lifetime ago already. Are we right?<\/p>\n

2. The kids are back at school <\/strong><\/p>\n

The peak-hour traffic might be a sure sign school\u2019s back but look on the bright side \u2013 your favourite holiday destinations that were packed in December and January are now a whole lot quieter and ready to welcome you with open arms.<\/p>\n

3. Hotel deals galore <\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only are holiday destinations quieter in February, but hotels offer great deals to entice travellers \u2013 think hot prices and freebies (who doesn\u2019t love a bonus brekky or late check-out?). It would be rude to say no.<\/p>\n
