Sometimes the best trip is the one that you don't take at all!
We keep hearing all of this buzz about "staycations". So what exactly is a "staycation"? According to Wikipedia a staycation (or stay-cation, or stacation,or staykation) is a a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions.
