Plan Your Perfect Midterm Vacation Getaway !

Summer is on its way out and monsoon is on its way in – children are dusting off their bags, buying new supplies and trudging back to school. Some of them will have a lot of photos to share and anecdotes to brag about their perfect vacation over summer abroad. if your children are the lucky ones to have the summer of their dreams than great! But if they are coming home with the travel bug after listening to their best friend talk nonstop about their perfect vacation then now may be the time for you to plan your own family vacation during the mid-term holidays that fall in the month of October for most students in India

Why is the Oct vacation an ideal time for a getaway?

Most people think of the long break in summer as the perfect time for a vacation with the family, and tend to skim over the October one when it comes to planning a holiday abroad, but the October vacation is a perfect time for a holiday abroad especially in the European and Northern American continent. One reason is that the weather is mild and though slightly chilly it can still be very pleasant. Also as most of the cities will be experiencing fall season, the foliage on the trees will be very beautiful in shades of Red and gold. The scenery as you drive through the countryside will be breathtaking and you will find Instagram worthy photo-ops wherever you go.  Another point in favor of October you will be traveling in the off-peak season, especially in America, as most students return to school in September the number of locals traveling for a vacation would be drastically low, which means you get to enjoy less crowds and better deals on hotels, air fare and car rentals. Also as most visitor visas take about three weeks to process, the perfect time to start planning your vacation is right now. Here are our top 5 destinations to enjoy your October
