What is a Staycation

October 29th, 2010 admin

What is a Staycation?

The travel media is very excited about staycations these days. A staycation is when you take time off work but you stay home, with your family, friends, kids, dog, neighbors, etc. When you follow these tips, you’ll return from your staycation refreshed and recharged.

  1. Take a complete break from all work. Don’t check your email or call work for updates. Leave the beds unmade.
  2. Don’t cook if you can avoid it, order take out and use disposable plates and silverware for easy meal clean up, splurge on a night out at a fancy restaurant.
  3. Act as you would on a vacation away from home, let the kids stay up past their bedtime.
  4. Relax in the sun and read that book you bought months ago and put on the shelf unread.
  5. Most importantly have fun with your family – play board games together, make popcorn and rent movies.
  6. Go to the park, take family bike rides or long walks in the neighborhood, maybe take in a concert under the stars
  7. Visit a museum near you – often they offer entrance fee free days or discounts for locals.
  8. Participate together in a creative activity like ceramic painting or a mini-course in photography at the community center.
  9. Set aside time for any home activities you enjoy, like gardening or scrap booking, for example.

10.  Remember to include the universal vacation ritual – take lots of photos and videos to share with your friends.

11.  Ask yourself, “If I had company from out of town, where would I take them for the day?” What are the must-see attractions and the secret hideaways in your city?

12.  Check the website of your city’s convention and visitor’s bureau or chamber of commerce for upcoming special events and a list of local attractions.

13.  Treat It Like a Vacation. Make an itinerary for your sightseeing plans. Buy attraction tickets in advance. Grab a city map. Don’t forget your camera!

The decision to spend a staycation at home this year, without either the tension that travel creates or the stress of considerable expenditures in this uncertain economy will be great. You really do deserve this rest and respite. So instead of “bon voyage,” it’s “bonnes vacances a la maison!” This year, just sit back and relax and let your bank account do the same. Come this time next year, your wallet will thank you!

What Kind of Travel Experience Do You Want?

So you’re going on a trip. Fantastic! Exciting! But what sort of trip are you planning to take? Is it for business or pleasure? Where are you headed? Who are you going with? Just what kind of travel experience do you want?

Traveling on a budget can give you all sorts of experiences, depending on a) your budget, b) where you want to go, and c) what you want to do. Everyone’s budget will be different, and traveling on a budget means knowing how much money you can afford to spend and sticking to that amount. So if you have a budget of two thousand dollars, your travel experience will be different from someone who has a budget of ten thousand dollars. It’s all relative to the dollar amount, but knowing some tricks to help you save money while traveling will make your dollars stretch further therefore increasing your travel experience.

Do you want to travel overseas? Do you want to travel around your home country? Do you want to stay in luxury accommodation or are you going to back- pack? Are you traveling with children or are you honeymooning? Are you traveling with a bunch of friends or are you keen to experience a group tour with strangers? Do you want to go to popular tourist sites or do you want to experience a destination’s way of living in remote areas? 

All these questions are things you need to ask yourself before you begin to plan your trip. You can either plan your trip with your budget in mind, or plan your trip, work out how much money you’ll need and save until you can get there. The first is probably a little easier to do because when the travel bug hits, you generally want to take off as soon as possible. Knowing your budget can guide you in making your decision of how and where you will be traveling. But if you have your heart set on a trip of a lifetime to an exotic island in the Pacific then you will need to save accordingly. It’s your choice.

Once you know what type of experience you are after, it’s time to work out the best way to get it on your available funds. Traveling on a budget is easier than you think these days. No longer does it mean living on stale food and sleeping in questionable accommodation. If you are wise and spend some time investigating deals to your chosen destination you could be able to enhance your traveling experience more than you thought possible. A bit of research will get you a long way when traveling on a budget.
