@Luvsmyfam Good for you! I love staycations! I like them much better than vacations where you spend time away from home.....especially if it involves a lot of time at the airport (no thanks to that!).

Enjoy!  Relaxation and leisurely pursuits are important for our mental health.

We do not like to travel. Enjoy staying home. Had an RV in our younger days and enjoyed that but,now like to stay home.

My problem is I want to be somewhere but don't want to travel somewhere! Just want to beam me up!

Just remembered something: years ago we were at a party and a man told us he told his wife he would travel anywhere as long as he could sleep in his own bed at night.

Re: Stay cation

Before Covid, when it was not tax time, we traveled a lot. Now flying just seems too much a hassel. We choose destinations within driving distance...rental cars are sky high along with other charges.

 

We had plans to join the kids at a beach house rental for a week, but "bridal appts." and weddings seem to be endless. So many have put off their nuptials until after Covid and now playing catch up.

I absolutely love staying home!  I didn't need a pandemic to encourage me to do what is normal for me.  I don't want to eat any food I didn't prepare, nor sleep in any bed besides my own.

I love staycations too! I find "going away" stressful, bothersome and undesirable.  I always pine for my creature comforts!  Yay, to enjoying our little slice of heaven!
