Yeah - it's the new normal nowStaycations became a thing during the last financial meltdown
Staycations became a thing during the last financial meltdown, it's been in common usage for over a decade (added to the OED in 2010)...
I remember reading a few years ago when the word first entered the lexicon that in the US (whence it came) it refered to spending your vacation at home but doing day trips to nearby tourist attractions and eating out more. In that context it would be used only if you were sleeping at home most nights with perhaps one or two overnights elsewhere.
It's an absurd term as if holidaying abroad is the rule and at home the exception.
It's far from a "staycation" many Irish people were reared. Talk about losing the run of themselves .
