Staycation - A holiday in your own town. With the busy schedules that we all live in today, planning a full fledge vacation is more work than fun. Comes the saviour of our woes customized for the fast paced world, voila – a staycation. A staycation is easy to plan. You explore your city again – this time from another perspective with all the time and the spirit of a tourist in a new place. It is found that natives of a place have not visited many of the places that tourist’s frequent. Be it monuments, museums, historical places etc. Here's how you can plan a staycation:

Check into a hotel in the heart of your city or near the place you plan to spend the rest of the days. You will feel the change of atmosphere and a sense of relaxation will crawl into you immediately. No more chores!
Chart out the destinations that you want to cover within your city or the outer regions of your city. Whatever destination you choose, make sure it’s not more than a 2 hour drive.

There’s always “the” restaurant you plan to visit but never had the time to. Choose from one of them and have a relaxed meal with all the worries out of your head.
There surely must be a mosque in the city or on the outskirts that you have never been to. This is great time to drop by.
You can enjoy a day mapped out on a golf course, tennis court or swimming pool. Catch up with all your friends and plan a sports- and activity-filled evening. The adrenaline will surely leave you elevated and stress-free.
Check out the latest museums in your city that the tourist visit. You’d be surprised at how many things you don’t know about your own place.
Nothing gives you a sense of wellbeing more than a relaxing spa session or a foot massage. Check into a spa to get glowing from the inside (and out).
Take out the telescope from the attic and prep up your astronomic knowledge. I am sure you missed out a lot with your tight schedules. The simple act of star gazing can make you dream big again - just like when you were a child.
This is for the adventurers - camp on a site near your town and live the nomadic way taking all the gears and set out a camp fire. Don’t forget to take some marshmallows with you!
Take your children out to the nearest amusement park. The rides would guarantee a fun-filled day with activities for all - not to mention the laughs, hysterias and thrills rushing through the blood.
Dont forget to take lots of photos. Have a lovely staycation and when you are back – you wouldn’t have a deadline to meet, and no rush and hush. This trend is here to stay. Mind you!
