Vacations: Save Money with a Staycation

Staycation in Paris, Mexico, ChinaAlicia Z. Klepeis
An inexpensive vacation with kids? To many of us, that phrase seems like an oxymoron. Between the cost of gas (or even more dramatically, plane tickets), lodging, meals out, and entertainment, many families are opting for staycations. However, everyone likes to imagine going someplace exotic like Paris, Mexico, or even China. Why not do it all? Save money, have fun, and "travel" to the destination of your choice, all from home.
5 Tips for Making Your Staycation Feel Like a VacationBankrate
When you can't afford a vacation afar, stay put, see the sites and save money with a staycation.

This year have a fun vacation with all the comforts of home. A staycation is the answer to the frugal person's quest for a quality vacation at bargain basement prices. Rather than buying a bed and a plane ticket, you can use your vacation money to buy experiences.

Even though the money might not be there, the need for some time off and away doesn't go away. Some alternatives are in order. A staycation - vacationing from home - can be a great way to keep expenses low and still have a relaxing time.
