It’s a lively holiday season…do you know how many three-day weekends we will have in 2024?
There are 10 three-day weekends, and one four-day weekend, so there are 11 consecutive weekends. By combining GW in May, Obon vacation, SW in September, and year-end vacations, you may be able to have a longer holiday than three consecutive weekends. Why don’t you consider planning an exciting outing in 2024 during the year-end and New Year holidays, when you will have many opportunities to gather with family and friends?
