Great American Staycation

Staycations have been talked about for a long time and this book has lots of great ideas for planning your own if you want to have one. The lists of Web sites for help is also good. It also has funny stories about vacations from the writer and other parents. The book is probably best for families.

Getting the most out of your hometown

Maximize your hometown is one of the staycation rules in this book, and that sums up the book. If you would like to take a staycation or are just forced to because you don't have enough money for a big vacation, then you will find a lot of ideas from 'staycationers' to get started. Check out museum sleepovers and factory tours and scenic train rides, they are pretty good. This is a good book especially for families. The author is also a humor columnist so it's funny too.
