Or the “holistay“. Due to gas prices and reducing ones carbon footprint, people are staying home this summer to save money or “go green”. Well, I’m proud to say that we’ve been ahead of the craze by many years. I was staycationing back when it was called ‘being poor’. So my bleeding edge staycationing was not for the above mentioned reasons, but due to poor-ness or too damn lazy or indecisive to buy tickets and set things up. And I’m here to say the staycation kinda blows. At the end of your week or two off work, you feel like you’ve done nothing. You go back to work feeling like you never had any vacation time. You go a bit stir crazy. It just feels like a long weekend. And yes, even if you do turn off the computer and neglect errands or don’t take on annoying projects like deep-cleaning the carpet or something.

So they suck. That’s about all I have.
