Staycations are as enjoyable as vacations. They cut costs and reduce the hustles of a traditional holiday. People do not need a fancy resort to relax and have fun. If one wants to enjoy their time and still manage expenses, a staycation is commendable. They are budget-friendly as compared to the hotel, flight, and other costs. Vacations and travel are usually not harmonious. Home is often the best place to get some restorative time. A good plan makes a staycation recharging, fun, and relaxing. Here are ways of making the best of a staycation.
Put something pretty and fresh in the bedroom
A new set of sheets, candles, and flowers can spice up the bedroom and make it feel special. If one has house managers, they can help make the bed and plump up the pillows. The bed can be made in a hotel-style, and the room set up can be changed.
Get the house cleaned by other people
A lot of money can be saved for a staycation instead of going on a vacation. Some money can be used for some luxuries during the staycation. If one doesn’t have cleaners at their home, they can hire a house-cleaning company. It feels like being in a hotel.
Split up responsibilities
If the staycation is with a friend or partner, you can share room service responsibilities. You can set aside days in which one will serve the other. One of the things people enjoy on vacations is room service in resorts and hotels. Having someone to bring food and drinks in the room while enjoying a movie or a good book is exciting.
Meal planning
Planning meals is exciting while on vacation. The same can be done in a staycation; either one is going out to a restaurant or cooking at home. Eating things that one has been yearning to make the staycation more thrilling.
Try out a new wine/cocktail
Restocking some drinks is essential in a staycation. It is fun to try new wines and enjoy unique cocktails. You can learn about them from books or online.
Be a home tourist
One can visit places around the hometown with a friend or partner. A good idea would be recreational sites and historic sites.
Turn off notifications
A staycation is a good time to go remote. Avoiding work emails or staying away from gadgets will let you enjoy the staycation without distraction.
Take photos
People take photos on vacations, and staycations are not an exception.
