While Word Spy cites a story by Terry Massey in the July 11, 2003 Myrtle Beach Sun-News as the term’s origin, for me the “staycation” phenomenon — spending time enjoying the joys of home instead of costly travel – was born Memorial Day Weekend 2008.
With the end of the rapid ascent of fuel prices nowhere in sight, investing in home entertainment might be a great alternative to burning through tankfuls of liquid gold. If you’re in the market for a scorching deal for those scorching staycation nights, you might be interested in $700 off a 46-inch High Definition Flat Panel LCD TV – the Sony® BRAVIA® W-Series KDL-46W3000.
Imagine you’re reading a brochure for a tropical resort: Immerse yourself in brilliant color and amaze yourself with the depth and clarity from the wide 46-inch screen. With a contrast ratio of 1800:1, images come alive with life-like color and sound. Featuring HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) and PC connectivity, you can seamlessly hook up compatible PCs and components to the large display. With a light sensor to monitor ambient light in the room, the TV automatically adjusts screen brightness making for comfortable viewing sans strain.
Offer good until 7 a.m. Central tomorrow. Pina coladas not included.

I would buy two if it double as a pina colada machine!

Good price and a good drink.
