Some of my favorite trips of life have been single day roadtrips or birthdays that I treat like a staycation. There's truly magic everywhere. I traveled for 2023-2024, including to some pretty amazing places, and while it was life-changing and amazing, I've gotten similar joys out of staycations or more close-to-home adventures. My theory is that we can only remember a handful of hours of each year, and we don't know in advance which ones they'll be.
A staycation can be a wonderful opportunity to explore your own town or area and discover new activities or restaurants that were there already, but that we overlooked while at home and into our regular rotation of places. And the sleeping-in part really resonates! Not leaving your home doesn’t have to mean you didn’t get a great benefit. Thanks for the reminder and tips, Charles!
My husband and I love staycations. We get to sleep in our own bed - always a blessing for me as I tend to sleep poorly when traveling. We slow right down, eat when we please, and toss any schedules out the window. Our city is a popular tourist destination, so we act like tourists and do tourist things. And AI can generate a terrific list of things to see and do in a matter of seconds.
Great pictures :-)

I totally agree! Serendipity, I find, is the best travel companion.
