Last week, I blogged about all the extra fees on airplane tickets this summer, which will be especially hard on big families trying to take a much-needed vacation. But driving isn’t that much better these days (as many of you pointed out), thanks to the skyrocketing cost of gas. So, what alternatives does that leave us? Apparently, some people are opting out of travel all together for a cheap, relaxing "stay-cation" at home.
