How do you vacation.
« on: August 15, 2019, 12:42:31 pm »
I day dream of taking a cruise... then you hear on the news of some thing going wrong with a cruise ship.  I don't care to fly.  I would like to take a river boat cruise.  I think that is to expensive for what it is.  I am working towards a good train ride but it seems like you still wouldn't see anything.  It would be like riding a bus unless you get a sleeper car.  I actually really take more of a staycation.  Basically inexpensive and definitely more comfortable.  How do you vacation?

My husband and I always talked about taking a trip on a train but never did - I have no interest in traveing to be honest in fact I have difficulty even leaving my house.

I do stay-cations.  I disperse my days throughout the year to have long weekends and go on hikes or go to the movies and relax.

I took my mom on a cruise once, because neither of us had ever done it before. I'm very unlikely to do it again. It was kind of boring.

We usually drive or fly, depending on the trip and distance. I would love to take the Empire Builder to Washington/Oregon. Every morning and every night it goes past my apartment, and I think someday I'm going to do it. I've never been on a long-distance train before.

I haven't had a trite and true vacation in 13 years.  I've had a weekend getaway here and there.  They were always based around water parks and children's activities. My next vacation (and I will start taking regular vacations at this point in my life) is taking my daughter to Disney World.  Yes another vacation built around children's activities.  However I enjoy Disney so much I've traveled there before with just adults and wouldn't mind doing it again.  Beyond this expensive trip we'll be saving and taking off to Hawaii next.

We have a trip booked to go back out to Laughlin, NV the end of October.  Last time we drove (32 hours one way).  This time we are flying out.  It will be the husband's first plane trip.  Will be flying back to Hilo, HI next June.
Have a wonderful day!

We usually go to a lake resort for fishing, kayaking, swimming, and other water sports.

Usually do road trips as my husband and I both like driving and being able to stop along the way and see other sites.  Have a trip planned later to drive to Colorado Springs and he is very excited because he was stationed in Army out there.

We own a Platinum Elite membership in Worldmark the Club with 63,000 points we can use for Condos all over the country, or trade for other resort systems like RCI, or even use them for Airlines, Car Rentals, or Hotel stays, so vacationing is a big part of our lives and we do it often.

I used to travel a lot, but  don't enjoy it as much as I used to.  Getting to be a homebody and want to sleep      my own bed after a long  day.  But we do  take a lot of small trips .  And when  we  do I prefer to stay at a hotel/motel instead of  someone's house.  When we go see family   I still prefer  the  hotel/motel. As  both hubby and I are restless sleepers.
