A staycation is a option where couples can stay in their own city or town, and vacation. Perhaps, book a local Bed & Breakfast, Hotel Room, or Spa & Lodge.
Here in Georgia there are lots of mountains, cabins, cottages, lodges, beaches, beach houses, villas/condos, beach/resorts, and so many options for a staycation.
The option or endless, you just have to get creative and talk with your significant other. Make plans to enjoy your own city and town. Think about places you always wanted to go or heard about (romantic places).
Here are 3 tips on, how to plan a romantic staycation.
#1) Choose the location - the location is everything, think about where you want to go. Perhaps, it's a hotel, bed & breakfast, ect... once you decide, call and make the reservations. Also, asking about romance packages, a la carte services. Consider asking about turn-down services, champagne and chocolates, butler services, spa/massage, ect...
#2) Choose the activities ... ask the about complimentary shuttle services (if available) perhaps there are some restaurants in the area. Look online for local events, festivals, and activities. Make reservations to have a romantic breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inquire within where you are staying and see if it's a restaurant within the place.
#3) Add in the romance - plan to spend quality time together. Add in a special touch ( write a love letter before your staycation). Give your significant other the love letter during your stay. Download your slow music music on your iPod, laptop, tablet, or smart phone (love songs). Bring a camera and snap quick pics of each other ( don't use your cell phone camera). Have un-interrupted conversations (stay off your phone while spending time with each other).
Tip: While you are away enjoying this time together start making plans for the next getaway, or Staycation. This makes planning exciting, and gives you two a opportunity to brainstorm together.
Have a Sweet day,

I love this piece - some great tips & also this works great if you're on a budget and cant really afford a big getaway together - this is just like a "mini-moon" for those that can't afford a big honeymoon too! I love the tip about beginning to plan your next one together when you're on the current Stay-cation!
ReplyDeleteYes, this would work great for couples on a modest budget. I love how you called it the "mini moon" ( Nice)!
DeleteI love this option for couples that are dating, engaged, newlyweds, and married couples. I'm all about adding in lots of love and romance. My husband and I love to plan little getaways together; and one thing we always do is ... We start planning the next trip while we are still in the current trip!

Stay-cations are an awesome idea. I would add one more tip for ultimate enjoyment - disconnect from cell phones and the business of home!
ReplyDeleteI love the tip of disconnecting from the Cell Phones, Tablets, or any other device!
DeleteA un-plugged getaway sounds like a plan. Take away all distractions!
Thank you,
Clarissa
I love this Clarissa! Great tips and perfect for the winter season "Baby It's Cold Outside." I will be peeking on these tips when I plan my Staycation. Thank You :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, it's so important to carve out that time for your significant other, and a stay-cation is a great way to do it with otherwise busy schedules.
ReplyDeleteThe best staycations for me involve my hubby and the winter season. Just something about relaxing on a cold evening in front of the fireplace. Perfect for unplugging with the outside and connecting with each other.
