Travel is great for the soul. It expands our worldview, gives us an even greater appreciation of our own home and reenergizes us as it forces us to step away from the treadmill of every day.
The only thing is, sometimes the problem with traveling is, well, the traveling part. Prepping for a vacation can be a project in itself. Packaging, readying your house, arranging care for the dog, shopping for bits and pieces that will be needed for the journey, digging out seasonally appropriate clothes etc.. While setting off on your adventure is exciting, who doesn’t sigh with relief when they finally reach their destination?
There are times when all you need is break, a mini holiday between larger journeys. Enter the Staycation.
Did you know your Direct Travel Advisor can help you with a mini break or a staycation in between the larger trips you have planned? Two or three nights at a local hotel or spa can give you just that recharge you need with minimal packing and travel time. Spend a few days being a tourist in your own town, with all the amazing places in the world to explore, it can be easy to forget that your own hometown also has a wealth of activities.
