Staycation: "ditziest word" says Kansas paper

Kansas paper, The Wichita Eagle, gives a very good opinion about the silliness behind the travel concept of a staycation:
"The ditziest word in current use is 'staycation.' That's the shameful, second-rate substitute for travel that various pundits are currently recommending."
Ecotravel News has previously written about this trend, even proclaiming it the "ultimate in ecotravel." So although we still do stand by this claim, The Eagle's poor opinion about it has struck a chord.

The Eagle writes that traveling anywhere outside your immediate area will give you experiences and education that you'll never get from just staying at home. Even if money and high prices seem like taking a vacation difficult, there are ways to save, like get a cheaper hotel or cut down on sightseeing expenses.

And if that travel is friendly to the environment, even better.
