No extra time needs to be taken of work if its organised well, first of all decide where you want to travel and the dates, over a weekend, then work some extra hours and miss a few lunch breaks and request to leave early on the Friday, you will be travelling Friday late afternoon so will have all day Saturday and Sunday to enjoy yourself. Another great way to save money is to think about a midweek break if your work will allow, there are some great deals to be found for mid-week breaks on flights and accommodation.
