I find travelling to be exhausting- fun- I love it- but exhausting. So some vacations I like to recharge by staying home and doing nothing. A staycation doesn't have to be busy and go, go, go either- we like to just go to the park, have picnics, and spend time together. The last vacation we 'took' like that was really rewarding. And I second the tip about the entertainment books- the last time we went to the US I bought one for each city we were in and it saved us quite a bit of money. I also look for coupons on the internet in advance- we saved a bundle of zoo entrances to the London and LA zoos (not on the same trip!). I am a big fan of ‘staycations’.
