Create the Perfect "Stay-cation"

Take a break without breaking the bank.

People are always looking for ways to save or money and ways to stretch a dollar, particularly on a vacation.  

Here are a few tips on how to still have fun without completely cutting a vacation from your budget.

• Look up what your local MWR office has in the area and plan a day trip.
• Take advantage of the lower than normal gas prices and hit the road, rather than paying for airfare.
• Make a day trip feel like a vacation by packing a bag and leaving really early in the morning.
• Look into renting a fun car for the weekend.
• Look for hotel deals online and compare.
• Take a few long weekends away from work to do nothing.

Did You Know?
“Stay-cation” means doing something local, or nothing at all.  It’s a mindset that means you are taking a break from the daily grind and getting away from the stressors of daily life without spending a lot of money.
