This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Vacation or Staycation.’ See more responses here.
I can’t remember the last time I actually went anywhere on vacation so I’m opting for staycation, which is staying home for your holidays. In Hawaii, a fine staycation doesn’t require a great deal to make it work.
A nice beach is a good start. Some shade, either from trees or a decent portable canopy. Tables and chairs are a plus, or a convenient branch to sit on. A variety of coolers suitably stocked are welcome, a barbecue even better. And of course, some warm sunny weather and calm blue waters make it a staycation to remember.

I wouldn’t go on holiday either, if I was there! I mean, where would you even go? Rainy Nothern Europe?

Oh, rain, I remember rain!Actually I get more rain here than I did in Washington State, the last month or more we’ve been very dry indeed. Rainy Northern Europe sounds quite refreshing by comparison.

It is easy to have a staycation when you live in a vacation place 🙂

It looks very pleasant, Graham, and think of the time and money you’ll save by not jetting away. Not to mention the planet!

I haven’t flown in ages and, to be honest, I really would rather not have to do that again if I can help it!

In Hawaii, who needs anything but a staycation, Graham? I heard many islanders LOVE to vacation in Las Vegas. We saw scenes like you share when we were here last. Canopies right on the beach, families making a good day of it!

Las Vegas is called the ninth island because it’s so popular with Hawaiians! I went down to one particular beach to take photos because it’s always packed on weekends, but when I got there, there were only a few groups around. The best laid plans and all that!
