Staycations Close to Home, by State

We love America, and travel to the many exciting places and destinations that the USA and Canada offer. We enjoy being out on the open roads of America, like cross-country trips on Route 66, The Mother Road, and taking exciting journeys to far off destinations like Hawaii via air travel. And we often board cruise ships for exciting destinations in Alaska, Central America and the Caribbean.

However, these days many are planning trips and vacations close to home ... "Staycations". Included below are 128 destinations, scenic roads, travel hotspots and attractions that our staff have personally visited, and enjoyed! Some of these are reviewed on this website, others on our other travel-related websites (listed at the bottom of this page).
