With the rising costs of gas many families are still choosing to have a staycation rather than a vacation.  About half of the travelers in the US are changing their usual plans because gas is just too expensive to take their regular trip.  So if you’re planning to stay home to save on some gas money here are a few things you can do.

1. Forget the chores- you’re on vacation- no laundry, dusting, making the beds or cleaning the house just because you’re at home.
2. Stay up late and sleep in late- remember you’re on vacation.
3. Go out to eat- don’t do all the cooking just because you’re home.
4. Chances are you have some tourist attractions in your home town or within a couple of hours that you’ve never seen before- go check them out.
5. Go camping in your back yard- the kids will love it.
6. Watch a movie in your back yard- I remember doing this when I was a kid and it was always a lot of fun.

Be careful that you don’t go overboard and end up making a big purchase because you saved so much money on gas- it will defeat the purpose. And if you do travel it might be a good idea to get roadside assistance , or travel in areas were you have family to help if something goes wrong.
