Tired of office, craving a holiday, but just can’t get the boss to sanction your long leave? Train your sights on the next long weekend (yes, even you busy office-workers do get those every once in a while) and get yourself a ‘minication’. You can do it. Especially when all the painful aspects of travel are taken care of, such as on Abercrombie & Kent Vacations India’s new minication packages. These short escapades—all only three nights long—have been tailor-made to give you the best possible experience in a short window. Packages are available to both near and far—Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Maldives as well as Tashkent, St Petersburg, London, Edinburgh and Lisbon. Minication prices start from $1,100 per person.
