  1. Use Long Weekends
    Extend your vacation by taking PTO around long weekends. For example, taking the Friday before Memorial Day off can give you a four-day weekend.

  2. Mix Short and Long Trips
    Balance your PTO by planning a mix of short getaways and longer vacations. This way, you can enjoy multiple breaks throughout the year.
