So with the economy how it is, I have a question. How many people are doing this “staycation” idea? Those of you who have no idea what I’m blabbering about a staycation is a vacation where you stay close to home. We actually tried this out last week and LOVED it! I was close enough to home that we could get to the house if we had an emergency but far enough from home to be on vacation mode lol. It was amazing and much cheaper then a vacation. What are your thoughts on the “staycation”?
Hey Claudine!
We did a ‘staycation’ this year. We stayed at home, did not answer the phone and did whatever we thought about doing at home.
When we felt like going to the store to do shopping for something in the house…we had the money to do it.
We actually slept in, ate when we wanted to (no schedule or pressing thing we had to do) and just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves as a family.
It was wonderful. I hated to see it end. I hope everyone else tries it if you have not. Think…no lines, no hotel bill, no going out to eat bill; we just used some of those funds around the house. The rest of it …was not on a credit card to pay off next month (wink)
It’s about the only vacation I can afford!!! Hope to go see friends in PA in September… It’s a not too long drive from Ontario..
