Staycations....that's what the hot word is! LOl

I think it's a good idea to offer deals at restaurants during this heat wave. Am sure many people are staying home anyway because of the cost of gas. My husband will be gone for a week to 10 days with his softball team, leaving next weekend. Does that count since I'll be home alone and it will be very peaceful in the house? lol It's my staycation. His team is going to Minnesota to play in a tournament. I don't have any interest in going and especially in this weather sitting outside to watch games. I can stay home where it's cool or leave as I please. I have dog and cat duty so that's my job while he is gone.

Hi jillhill. I, too, have noticed this new word, "staycation." We've just returned from a 5 day trip to Vegas, so we've already had a little vacation this year. My husband and I tease each other--5 years ago we moved to FL, and we constantly feel like we're on vacation, even though we both work. On the weekends, we say, "why not" to activities because "we're on vacation." There's something about living here year round and having a pool out the back door that spells "vacation" to us. So, in a way, we're on a permanent "staycation." Take care.

I guess we always have Staycation here since we don't go anywhere. In the summer is when our grandson comes to visit us and we just do things around here with him. Not exactly Staycation but close enough. I guess if mosquitos weren't too bad and if we didn't have a system in the Gulf of Mexico that possibly might come our way to at least give us some wind and rain I would love to get a tent and camp out in the back yard, he would love to do that.

Thats pretty much the only type of vacations I ever take. I am a homebody by nature and had rather be at home than the hassle of going somewhere.

That is the kind we have every year and this surly will be no different!LOL
