4. Reminisce:  This is something I have been doing a lot of lately!  Look back at pictures and videos from your previous vacations.  What did you enjoy about specific trips?  What didn’t you like?  Consider both when planning future vacations. Sometimes it’s just nice to just take time and be grateful for where you have been.  
5. Staycation: Pitch a tent in the backyard! Do you have a friend with a cabin you could use for a weekend or go with them? Spend a night or two in a hotel nearby and explore a new city. There are little ways to satisfy that travel craving.
