The term “staycation” refers to someone who decides to take off time from work to enjoy life in their local town. TOP THINGS TO DO ON YOUR STAYCATION Enjoy things right under your nose: a week before you plan to take staycation, keep your eyes open for special events, parks and other attractions right around your own town. Dine at your favorite restaurants or try out a few new local hot spots with the money you saved from vacationing in your local area. Pamper yourself at the spa and get a relaxing massage. Stay at the Quality Hotel Vancouver-“The Inn at False Creek” a full service boutique style hotel conveniently located in downtown Vancouver. We’re only minutes away from major city attractions and activities. The hotel also has a seasonal outdoor heated pool, free access to Fitness World, lounge and restaurant. Avoid doing house chores and answering the door for salespeople. Avoid the craziness at the airport and long line up at customs. Call a few of your friends who may be off during the day or visit an old friend during their lunch break.
