Layoffs are rampant, gas prices are volatile, airlines are
cutting flights, and Americans are feeling the economic
pinch of a recession. As much as we hate it in this country
of big dreams, big cars and Big Macs, we have to find a way
to cut back. For many Americans, that means turning the
Great American Vacation into a “staycation,” which is the
big buzzword of the year, having appeared in articles
everywhere from www.CNN.com to Newsweek. But what does a
staycation really mean? Newspaper humor columnist and
frequent staycationer Matt Wixon shares with readers the
definition of a staycation as well as:
Rules for a successful, satisfying vacation at home or
nearby
Motivation and encouragement for people who can’t afford
the big, traditional vacation
Ways to make the most of time off from work
Strategies and experiences from more than a dozen
staycationers, as well as hundreds of Internet links and
specific ideas to help plan a vacation in your hometown.
From alternatives to destination theme parks to making the
most of out local amenities to reigniting the flame in a
relationship, Americans will find this guide a humorous and
invaluable guide to staying home on vacation.
