Here’s the honest truth: some of the links on The Long Weekend Life are affiliate links. That means if you click through and buy something, we earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
We’re not shy about the fact that this is a for-profit business in the hopes that it will help fund some of our travel. But that doesn’t change why we write — we started this to help fellow Gen Xers make the most of the years before retirement, one long weekend at a time. That part hasn’t changed and won’t.
So here’s our promise: we only recommend what we’ve actually booked, bought, or brought on our own trips. If a link is in a post, it’s because we’ve spent our own money on it and believe in it — not because someone paid us to say so. When in doubt, assume any link to a product or service is an affiliate link. We’d rather over-disclose than have you wonder.
The Long Weekend Life is also a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
