A new angle on home

Check into a hotel or inn in your own community and live like a tourist for a few days. See all the sights nearby that you’ve been promising to explore when company comes. You don’t have to travel long distances to enjoy a break from routine. With all the hassles of airport security and flight delays, traveling by plane can cause enough anxiety to diminish the vacation. Why bother? Just sleeping in another bed, eating a meal cooked by someone else, and being pampered by the staff of a nice inn can be refreshing — even if it’s all just around the corner. Look into midweek and last-minute specials. With a destination so close by, you can be spontaneous.
