Forget the Vacation - Take a Staycation!

What is a Staycation

Staycation Nation is a portmanteau that combines "stay" and "vacation" and refers to a vacation that takes place either at or near home. The phrase has gained popularity over the last couple of years as finances have become tight for many people. Families are looking for ways to save on travel yet not jeopardize family fun.

Why the Staycation Buzz

With the U.S. economy sagging and the nationwide average price for unleaded regular gas surging toward $4 per gallon, a pricey destination holiday is beyond the reach of many Americans. Not wanting to experience a summer devoid of well-deserved R&R, many families are trading in their travel plans for a stay-at-home vacation. These Staycations take many forms, including backyard camping "expeditions" and romantic "escapes" to a local hotel.
