You may not believe it now, while you fanaticize about a spring vacation to some exotic getaway, but sometimes the best trips happen when you just stay home. Times are tight, and our wallets are even tighter. Layoffs, recession, and the ever-spiraling economy seem all consuming, forcing many of us to redefine our money-spending choices. In effect, the economic climate has altered the way in which we travel: People are staying close when leaving home, saving on time, money, gas and perhaps even guilt. But just because you’re staying local doesn’t mean you have to skimp on excitement. Who says that luxury can only be found by hopping on a plane to the Caribbean?

To remind you that the lap of leisure is closer than you think, we offer some fun, creative, affordable (and some splurge-worthy) ideas on where to stay, play, eat and shop, all in your own backyard. Read up on ideas to inspire, invigorate, enlighten and even ease the “guilt of travel” during such unstable times. So kick back, relax and enjoy; You’re on staycation.

Nashville, Tennessee, is the home of country music, all-night jam sessions and your next high-energy, foot-stomping vacation.

Nashville is a gambling town. But unlike Las Vegas, where people gamble with money, folks in Music City gamble with their souls. Man quits job, sells car and packs guitar and a couple of shirts along with some rhyming lines about life, written on everything from folded up napkins to old check stubs; he hops on a Greyhound bus with a big sign on the front that’s lit up like heaven and reads “Nashville.” This story occurs in some form or another every single day. Only the minor details vary. Sometimes it’s a woman driving in. Sometimes the guitar is a fiddle. The common thread, though, is that they always come to Nashville with some innate wisdom about life and a melody to go with it.
