My mom and I were out shopping last weekend and she casually mentioned to me that she had almost 2 weeks worth of vacation days to use before the end of the year. Apparently she's been letting them roll-over for so many years now, and has so many stockpiled, that they're issuing a new policy where she either uses it loses it. Needless to say, my mom is taking the rest of the year off work— which is seriously well deserved!
Right now her vacation plans revolve around spending time with her grandkids, but I'm trying to encourage her to get away, at least for a weekend, for some real R&R. Here are some last minute travel deals that are too good to pass up on if you have some vacation days to burn, or just feel like a quick getaway, before the end of 2015.
