Would You Take A 24-Hour Vacation? Book A Flight For One City & Return Home Within 24 Hours to Sleep In Your Own Bed?

The was a guest this morning who was interviewed on the CBS Morning Show and he said he does that. Said that the cost of hotel rooms etc. made it worth it. He apparently has done it dozens of times. Spoke about his recent trip to Egypt to see the pyramids etc and got a souvenir shirt and photos and returned home. Wouldn’t need to check baggage or even a carry-on bag. Maybe a shoulder bag with money, passport, and other necessities. I bet the climate change people would throw a fit about that and they never asked him in the interview about that. Or about how jet lag can set it and need to sleep and rest before doing anything. His departure was from NYC so no connecting flights.

Now if time travel was a thing I’d do it in a heartbeat, would save all that time flying back & forth if you could instantly go somewhere interesting and come back before bedtime. Could do it on your best days when you are feeling good etc. and it wouldn’t take a lot of money either, just for meals or souvenirs. I’d be going to forests and other beautiful natural areas very often.

My friend got cheap flights to Italy, morning flight, then got a taxi to this town near the airport, had pizza and wine, had a bimble about and then went back for the flight home.

I’d definitely do it, I think the flights were about £30 return. Mega cheap deal.

@Achelois Where did he depart from? I think it could be feasible in Europe or the UK with shorter trips.

She left from England, so it’s not that bad, mostly waiting at airports, nice day out.

@Achelois If I lived there I’d go visit other countries like that too sometimes.

She booked it last minute, we can get some good last minute deals.

I’d definitely be up for it, i mentioned it to my daughter and she’s game lol

Although id be inclined to stay over, I love being spontaneous.
