"It is not a 'staycation' if you are going somewhere other than your own house, then it's just a holiday. Thank you for your time."
Exactly. I thought everybody knew this - well until the Media and holiday companies hijacked the term last year |

"I knew what you meant OP 
Yes I’ll be staycationing in Scotland. I’m doing the NC500 in 2 weeks. "
You'll love it! Best driving roads and scenery in the world. Just be prepared for a long wait on the single-track parts if you're unlucky enough to meet a camper van convoy 
You're going to do the Bealach na Ba hairpins of course. Haven't done the drive if you don't do those. |

Also, take your time and have a look around when you're at Durness and Loch Eriboll. Just driving through some parts of the NC500 is a shocking waste. |

Just got back from Whitby a week ago. The weather was amazing so was the apartment. Love the Yorkshire coast.
And booked a place in the peaks for new year.
But I’ve booked St Lucius for November. I can be hopeful |

Sooooo envious ! I'd love to do that journey one day "
Make it a priority! I've driven all of it, not in one go but on several visits, and there is no more beautiful drive in the entire world. |

Driving or cycling? If cycling, kudos!"
I’d love to be doing it on my bike but I’m taking my boy in a motorhome. I can’t wait  |

"Yep, had 10 days in Cumbria seeing family, off to the south coast next week, then up to see family Norfolk coast in 3/4 weeks time.
Whereabouts on the south coast? Asking for a friend   "
Haha Dorset |

Staycation is just a media contrived nonsense word. Primarily to describe people having to holiday in the UK rather than jet2 flight to all inclusive piss-up brit holidays in Spain etc.
I have travelled the world but we spend our time touring and exploring our beautiful homeland - this is no shape or form a staycation oh and trying to enjoy it before the jet2 brigade destroy it. Roll on cheap all inclusive holidays to benidorm return soon

Actually it goes back a lot further than that. It's been used in the states for years and literally means vacationing at home. Hence STATcation. Because you STAY at home.
I must have first heard it around 20 years ago |
