Travel Expert Meggan Kaiser Shares Staycation Inspiration on Tips on TV Blog

Unique options to create a fun, relaxing, and economical trip during these challenging times.

Summer Staycation Ideas

With the challenges of a pandemic, many people are choosing to skip vacation, while others are opting for a “staycation." Meggan Kaiser, the travel expert who literally wrote the book about free or affordable trips, EVERYWHERE FOR NOTHING: FREE TRAVEL FOR THE MODERN NOMAD, provides a timely roadmap for researching, creating, and enjoying an affordable vacation.

A SAFE VACATION

Road trips are everything in the travel world now. It is the perfect way to get away while keeping the family safe. If the family is hitting the road this summer, check out what industry leaders like Wyndham Hotels & Resorts have to offer. Wyndham has enhanced health and safety protocols and flexible cancellation policies, so people can book with confidence and peace of mind. With thousands of hotels across 20 brands of family-friendly names like Days Inn, Super 8, and La Quinta, wherever you want to travel, whatever your budget, Wyndham is there. Another tip: register for their latest promotion at WyndhamHotels.com and receive 2,000 bonus Wyndham Rewards points on upcoming stays, up to 10,000 points, good towards free nights, gift cards and more.

TIPS FOR THE DRIVE

People might not realize it, but intense summer heat can be just as damaging to a car’s battery as freezing winter temperatures, so make sure to get the battery tested for free at the local Batteries Plus Bulbs store before the next road trip. If a new battery is needed, Batteries Plus Bulbs has a $10 mail-in rebate in July and August on Duracell Ultra Gold or Platinum AGM batteries. For the kids, make sure their devices are charged up. Then, whether on the road or staying home in a backyard oasis, Batteries Plus Bulbs has everything needed to stay powered up and connected all summer long.

SOME STAYCATION FUN

Activities that bring the entire family together are the best for staycations, and two of the newest games from hit-party-game-creator Exploding Kittens are the perfect staycation addition. Throw Throw Burrito Extreme and Poetry for Neanderthals both feature inflatables, but not just for the pool. Throw Throw Burrito Extreme, a dodgeball card game, features two THREE-FOOT-TALL Burritos to throw at opponents. In Exploding Kittens’ first word guessing game, Poetry for Neanderthals, players have to explain complex words or phrases using only single syllables, or they get whacked with a TWO-FOOT-long inflated NO Stick. For ages 7 and up, you can find these games at Target or order at ExplodingKittens.com and have them sent straight to the house.
