Which one is better, long or short?

Is it better to take several weekend trips or one long vacation of week or two?  I would normally say several weekend trips but after my weekend trip, I think I’ve changed my point of view.

There was a lot of traffic and by the time we got settled Friday evening we only had Saturday – and then Sunday had to leave.  If you’re gonna do a weekend, at least try and extend it a day or two.  By doing this you can avoid some traffic and maybe relax more quickly.  Weekend trips give you a little reprieve from the hectic pace of life but try and plan at least one or two week-long trips a year.   Vacations are meant to reenergize you in your personal and professional lives, so make the most of it!
