๐ฅ Come at me on Twitter, but I don’t back down
Hey Reader,
โ
Have any entertaining interactions with strangers on social media lately?
โ
Earlier this week a travel writer on Twitter/X decided he didn’t like my use of the term “hotel staycation” and thought I needed some mansplaining. I dropped in a screenshot of the full conversation below for your reading amusement.

I want to make something very clear, Reader: Plan, Ready, Go does not exist to do favors for the hotel industry. Plan, Ready, Go exists to help travelers. Period.

Although Twitter Travel Writer (for whatever reason) was REALLY bothered by my use of the word staycation in conjunction with the word hotel, I stand by my article. Hotels don’t know or care what you call your hotel stay: getaway, holiday, journey, sojourn, excursion, city break, trip, vacation, staycation. All they know is that you’ve given them money in exchange for a room. You could call it a kangaroo for all they care.

Hotel staycations are a thing, despite what @toptraveller thinks (and despite what he copy/pasted from Wikipedia ๐). It’s simply a variation of the standard staycation in which a person stays at a local hotel or resort instead of in their home. It’s a way to get a break from your everyday life without traveling away from your immediate area.

โRead the offending hotel staycation article here and let me know what you think. Am I way off base? Is @toptraveller too argumentative for his own good?

If you don’t follow me on Twitter/X yet please do that here. Come for the travel tips, and stay for the entertaining conversations with bullying travel writers.

Later!
