    STAYCATION

    By OILMAN1966  |  Posted May 12, 2008  |  SOUTH WINDSOR, Connecticut
     

     

    I ALSO WAS SICK OF PACKING, AIRPORTS,GAS PRICES, TRAFFIC, BAD FOOD & SERVICE AND COST WHILE VACATIONING. 

     

     

    MY WEEKEND STARTS THURSDAY AFTER WORK, & IN LIEU OF A 7 DAY VACATION A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR.   I HAVE 3 DAY WEEKENDS, 4 DAY WORKWEEKS FOR THE SUMMER! 

     

     

        I MADE MY BACKYARD A PLACE TO CAMP, SWIM, HOOPS, HORSESHOES, GARDENING, CRAFTS, VOLLEYBALL ETC.  AND SO MUCH MORE TO LIST.  I TAKE THE $ I WOULD HAVE SPENT ON BAD VACATIONS AND INSTEAD INVESTED IT INTO MY FAVORITE DAYCATION SPOT!!! 

     

     

    ARE YOU NOT SICK AND TIRED OF WORKING TWICE AS HARD BEFORE YOU GO ON VACATION AND THEN AGAIN WORK TWICE AS HARD WHEN YOU RETURN JUST TO TAKE THAT SMALL VACATION TIME OFF?  BELIEVE ME IT MAKES THE SUMMER GO BY SO MUCH SLOWER AND MORE RELAXED!!!  IF YOU HEAR THE WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE A RAINOUT, SKIP THE PLANS FOR THIS WEEKEND AND DO IT NEXT WEEKEND.  YOU CAN'T GET A GUARANTEED RAIN FREE PREPAID VACATION ANY OTHER WAY.  SO HOW ABOUT IT AMERICA, EVERYONE ON BOARD WITH ME FOR 3 DAY WEEKNDS?!?
