HOW TO PLAN A STAYCATION
WHEN YOU CAN’T VACATION, HAVE A STAYCATION!
Sometimes the most rejuvenating vacations can happen right in your home town. It can be a matter of settling on somewhere to visit where you unplug, unwind, and indulge, rather than finding the most exotic location. Because hey, doing nothing in a gorgeous suite with 24-hour service is much more glam than doing nothing at your home.
Don’t have the funds or time to travel? The quickest and easiest way to escape the reality and stress of life is by checking yourself into a hotel.
Finding your Home away from Home
Wherever you may live, you will have such a vast selection of hotels, that it can be overwhelming to pick just one!
So tip, look for the best rated and best reviews! It will help your staycation be even more successful.
THINGS TO DO WHILE ON STAYCATION
-
Visit the Local Market/Downtown. I know in downtown Oakville, Ontario you can take a morning stroll to local cafes for some croissants and coffee. I would suggest doing a little research before booking your accommodation to check if there’s any markets or events on nearby!
-
Dig into a New Book. I’ve just recently got back into reading and forgot how relaxing it can be! I hardly ever have the time to read at home, but being on a mini vacation means no distractions. Hours of uninterrupted reading while laying in a plush bed? Don’t mind if I do.
-
Order Breakfast in Bed. One of life’s little pleasures.
-
Get Pampered at a Spa. If the hotel you’re staying at offers a spa, take advantage! If not, you can always create your own DIY spa.
-
Go shopping. Spend the day seeing what’s new or just window-shopping. Hotels are always near local shopping centres and streets!
-
Book in a Fancy Meal. Eating and drinking out is one of my favourite things to do and even more so when I have the opportunity to discover new places! Experience your city/town like a tourist.
-
Turn off your Technology. Laptop, iPhone, iPad… everything. Take this time to disconnect from the world.
-
Order Dessert to your Room. Because when you can, you totally should.
