My wife and I take at least one staycation a year just for a change of scenery. We will take an Uber to another part of our metro area, stay at a hotel for two or three days and we won't do anything spectacular. Go out to eat and drink, maybe go to a show or just do nothing.
We don't have a bucket list, no pressure to "do" anything, etc.
I never understood the concept of staying in a hotel in the same town. I travel a lot on business and to me, Hotels are not relaxing as much as my own house.
Relaxing vacation for me is to go to a remote place away from your own town, get a cabin and totally unwind. I never understood staycations especially hotel-staycations.
It depends on your idea of "your town". My family lives, works, and plays in the 'burbs. We never have any reason to go in town. Staying in town is a change of scenery. We don't have to drive (take Uber) and we don't have to go through the expense and hassle of an airport.
