Staycation


Soon it will be the end of the summer months and maybe you might just want to squeeze in one last vacation. Either you don’t have enough money to take another long vacation or enough time.  We have a suggestion for you.  How about a Staycation?

A Staycation, is when you stay home and explore the city where you live. Are there any places where you live that you have always wanted to go visit and never do.  Well, if you and your family have at least one day off then you can should plan this.  It would be better if you have one weekend to take a vacation but all you need is a day.

If you are not sure what is there is to do or see in the city where you live, then go to your state or city’s Official Visitor and Tourism Bureau’s website.   Why not call them.  They can customize your itinerary.  They can also help you with any special needs or interests you might have. The people who work there also live in your city and can tell you about places that might not be on their website. Maybe you can find out about places in your city that you never knew about. 


You can also go to your local AAA office and get some travel books and maps for free.  If you don’t have an office near by then you can look at their website.



Maybe you would love to know the history of your city but not sure where to begin.  Then contact your local Historical Society.  They will be able to tell what you should go see.

Is there a local museum or zoo that you have always wanted to visit but just haven’t found the time? Why not go now.




This should be a good time to go an amusement park in a long time. The lines will be getting shorter as the summer tourist season ends.


If you can’t afford a big amusement park then how about a visit to a county fair? It is less money than an amusement park.


If you don’t want to do the Staycation and want to go out of town you can.  You might not be able to afford to go far, then you should check the official verified social media pages of your favorite airlines.  They always have special deals called, “Flash Sales.”  That is when they have a few tickets left on a flight and will sell it to for a really cheap price.  Sometimes it is less than $100.  There is a catch.  They are usually  less than an hour flight and are for specific dates and times. It can’t be worth it if you are not particular. Jet Blue and Southwest always have these “Flash Sales.”  You will still have to pay for a hotel but the closer we get to Labor Day Weekend the prices of a hotel should be going down because it is the end of the summer tourist season.

You don’t have to go anywhere or do anything.  You can stay home and pretend you are staying at a hotel. You don’t even have to cook and get all your food delivered.  This is your time to relax.
