Affordable vacation haiku

Pismo Beach, CA/iStock photoDear Haikusue:

It's been a crazy hectic year and I am dying for a getaway. The boyfriend and I are saving up for a major trip later in the Fall, but I don't know if I can stand going that long without a break. How can I get the vacation recharge without getting on a plane or having to spend thousands of dollars on a hotel? And don't say "staycation" nothing about sitting around our apartment all summer sounds appealing. Help!
