Don't want to hassle with the travel masses? Need some R&R without the elaborate vacation plans? How about a "Staycation"? A staycation is time spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions.
Before you begin your staycation, prepare.
How long will it be?
Who is included?
What is your budget?
Clean your home and do your laundry beforehand.

Spend a weekend away at a local hotel. Enjoy being pampered, take advantage of the hotel's amenities. Relax by the pool, or have a spa day!
