Staycation is where you can finally break out from your usual routine. When was the last time you slept in late in the morning? Why don't you try to sleep in late on the morning of the first day of your staycation? You can wake up at noon or even later if you want to. If there is still time in the morning, prepare breakfast in bed for yourself and enjoy your breakfast. This simple little thing will make your staycation feel like an ideal holiday since you don't have to rush to work.
