Can you really not go anywhere and call it a vacation? Even more importantly, can you take time off, stay at home or go away, and unplug from the office? As the Staycation enters its second decade, what’s changed and made it an attractive alternative for many families? Discovery Map, the leading provider of curated guides to top attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, has some pointers for those opting to stay at home for vacation this year.

“The Staycation became a thing after the 2008 crash when many families simply didn’t have the resources to take that trip to Disneyworld or the rental fee for that lakeside cabin or ocean cottage, so they stayed at home for vacation,” said Peter Hans, president of Discovery Map International since 2005. “This year, there are a number of families who didn’t quite get as large a tax return as they had in years past. Consequently, the Staycation is back on the table for some families.”

While the Staycation may be in its second decade, the ground rules for fun and stress-free breaks remain pretty much the same.  For starters, no contact with your office allowed.  Just because you’re not going away for an extended trip is no reason to be calling in to the office. Time off is meant for you to rest up and recharge your batteries. You can’t do that if you’re never mentally away.

Holidaying can feel intimidating when you’re mobility impaired, but it needn’t stop you from seeing more of the world, experiencing new cultures or even just soaking up the sunshine. Everyone should be able to travel in confidence, sometimes all it takes is a little prior preparation. We’ve put together the perfect itinerary for a few days on the Costa del Sol, but follow the same steps and you could plan out a dream holiday just about anywhere.

Choose your Destination

This step almost goes without saying, but give plenty of thought to it. Winter holidays can be more troublesome, ice and snow make getting around more difficult. If your heart is set on a wintry break then try to choose a city location where paths will be regularly cleared. Sunshine holidays are easier to prepare for, but very rural locations can have bumpy terrain underfoot.

Marbella makes a great destination, because although it has all the beauty of a more rural beachside holiday, it is a town with well-maintained sidewalks. Most importantly though, it benefits from the perfect holidaying climate. It is protected on its northern boundary by stunning mountains, which as well as being wonderfully picturesque, also shelter the city from cold winds. The climate is further improved by the low annual rainfall and a staggering 2900 hours of sunshine per year. Weather-wise, it couldn’t be a more perfect holiday destination. [Read more…]
