This is such a terrific article. We are moving to a new home next week so we can’t afford any vacations away from home this summer. This gives us so many great ideas. Thanks!

I truly enjoyed your article about “Planning A Couple’s Vacation”. My husband and I always planned a yearly trip together around our anniversary time and it meant so much to both of us. In 2003, I was in an automobile accident and my whole life changed. It has destroyed my health and we have taken no trips since then because of medical bills and other factors due to the accident. I miss our trips so very much. Our closeness has suffered as a result of what has happened to me – auto accident, 4 surgeries since then, stroke, diagnosed with 4 autoimmune diseases, very painful and rare spinal disease diagnosis. I would LOVE to take a trip again. I plan to send this to my sweetheart and maybe we will be able to afford it again some day.

I just discovered you on Twitter. Kids think anything different is fun so the staycation is a great idea. I would like to try it with my grandchildren.

I grew up camping in the back yard at least once a year and always loved it! A great suggestion!

My children enjoyed a few camping nights on our back deck in our tent. It was safe, close to the door and a great way to entertain their friends for a sleepover! Not to mention they just loved hanging out in it during the day. You just encouraged me to do it again this weekend and make a plan-less weekend into something exciting. Thanks!

It’s amazing how much fun you can have in your own backyard! We live in an area that has hundreds of camping and attractions within 50 miles of our home. We can drive 9 miles and stay at a beautiful campground right on the river. It’s even fun to camp out in the backyard. We set up the tent and pull out the grill and we are ready for a fun filled weekend.

Great tips! Thanks : ) My family and I like to host pot luck picnics. It’s a great way to see out neighbors and enjoy the outdoors. We can’t afford a vacation this year, but we’ll still have plenty of summer fun!

Staycations are great! My honeymoon was a staycation. No phones, no one was allowed to stop by, we didn’t check the mail, nothing. My cell phone was on silent and I might have checked it once or twice the whole time (just in case of emergencies).

Come on people, the honeymoon is about the people, not the location.
