Instead of taking out a second mortgage to travel halfway round the world on a gas guzzling jumbo jet (AFTER a heated argument with TSA agents about what constitutes unreasonable search and seizure), consider playing tourist in your own town. Staycations can be a fun and budget-friendly way to explore the beauty of your own backyard.
Plus, you don’t have to pack, unpack, or endure TSA pat downs by Frisky McFrisk.
Not sure what to do? You could . . .
* Seek out local tourist attractions, walking ghost tours, or cultural events.
* Catch up on reading or take a class.
* Try a local ethnic restaurant.
* Hold a family talent show . . . with prizes!
* Pursue an old hobby or a new interest.
* Plant a backyard garden (or hang out in a hammock).
* Take tap-dancing or limbo lessons.
* Dust off your accordion and perform at an “open mike” night.
* Snap shots on a nature walk.
* Take a picnic to the park to explore scenic vistas.
* Take your bike for a spin around a lake.
* Play Scram Scrabble or charades.
* Volunteer for a favorite cause or help with a friend’s project.
* Watch movies. Pop popcorn.
* Build a snowman.
Aah . . . that’s better!
Have you ever “spent your vacation” at home? Did it feel like summer break as a kid . . . with late nights and lazy mornings?
Does the idea of a Staycation hold any appeal?
