Holiday staycation: book a weekday, skip the week after Christmas

METRO DETROIT. Model D Media's latest advice for a Detroit holiday staycation comes down to four moves: finally visit the local spot you keep skipping, book a hotel night just to change the scenery, time it for a weekday or the stretch between Christmas and New Year's when rates drop, and walk into a familiar neighborhood or restaurant like it's new.
The money saving half: put credit card points toward the room, ask about resident discounts at museums, watch for free community concerts and light displays, and wait until the last minute on tickets if the show doesn't usually sell out.
A staycation still needs a calendar. It just skips the flight.
