What's Your Staycation Tip?

Gotta get away, even for just a day?

When the job, the neighbors and the kids are all getting to you, how do you save your sanity without breaking the bank?

Marko Kosta says his idea of the perfect staycation is enjoying all the hiking trails near his home and the fine dining in Larkspur.

So what would you do on a staycation? Let yourself be pampered at a spa? Book a hotel room for a night or two? Or just play hooky from work and hang out around town?

Voting comes in a variety of forms: you can vote in the poll below, but the poll is not scientific and is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. You also weigh in by writing in the Comments section below and by rating and reviewing the facilities on their Larkspur-Corte Madera Patch Places pages. Comments are bonus points in the final decision. The poll is open through 9 a.m. Friday. The winner will be revealed Friday afternoon.
