• It’s a lot less crowded. Many vacationers are back home, children are back in school, and everything is less booked up. Also, in some European countries, everyone takes August off!
• The weather can be friendlier. You are less likely to encounter blistering heat waves or traditional summer storms. Mother Nature seems calmer in the fall.
• The colors. Fall foliage is a wonder in many, many places. Some resorts build a major promotion over the changing season, and it’s worth the trip.
• Take the opportunity to recharge before things get busy. A lot of businesses get very busy leading up to holiday time, and it’s a smart idea to get one last refreshing vacation in before work takes over.
• The best reason: You forgot to go over the summer!
