How do you vacation.

[judylucas]

I've been on many vacations in my life cruise, drive across USA, NYC and many camping trips but now I stay at home mostly

My wife goes on vacation once a month-usually smaller vacations like visiting friends in the mountains, high school reunion in Milwaukee, three day weekends in Florida, and this weekend she is in Seattle. Our family went to Europe in May (which I will have paid off tomorrow-yayyy!). I am doing a mini vacation with the kids in October-treating them to a concert and hotel room about fifty miles from home. My son turns twenty one next year and I will be taking him to Brazil and Amsterdam. My wife is going to Australia in February with my daughter (for the Australian Open-tennis). I had looked into doing time shares at one point but they didn't make sense for our lifestyle. I sat down with a representative for five hours, hashing out numbers and even looked at making the purchase a business expense. Ultimately the cost was always higher than booking my own vacation-especially now with all of the travel sites.

Our favorite getaway is to drive up to Northern California to a little spot on Tomales Bay.  It is north of San Francisco in the middle of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore and is peaceful and beautiful.

Actually, we live in a vacation destination!  Just over the hill to the Pacific Ocean & Malibu; an hour drive to Disneyland; and, if you're into sightseeing Hollywood style - a 20 minute drive to Beverly Hills.  We love having company and showing people around - always fun.

We go to the beach once a year. Normally we go to gulf in Florida.

Very rarely, like being a home body.

I took a train once and it was actually really nice. I felt like you were able to see a lot.

My boyfriend and I are taking a trip to Florida in December and we both will be first time flyers. It's definitely anxiety inducing! But it was $700 for a train or $260 for a flight. Lol.

We haven't taken a real vacation in years.  MONEY

I don't think I would want to get on an air plane these days.

I'm not a big fan of travelling so I'm happy to consider it a vacation just staying at home with nobody bothering me :p

Mu dream vacation is to go to Europe and visit all the countries that I can.  since that is not going to happen any time soon, I try to go Home, Panama, once every year or 2, and every summer we make a trip to a Beach, Myrtle Beach is really nice.  This year we made the trip to Disney World and took a few days and went to St. Augustine Beach, it was really nice

We have taken a variety of different types of vacations, long, short, beach, mountains, big city, cruises, train trips, plane trips, overseas, within the US, etc.  I like them all.  The older I get, the harder it is to travel, so I am trying to get as many trips in as I can while the getting is good!!  We take every opportunity to travel with our musician daughter and her band who are on the road almost every week.  We go to the performances that are close by, but also some of the farther away ones.  In February, we followed her to Isla Mujeres for a Song Writers' Festival.  We are presently visiting a few of the military bases where she is on the Women Rock the Forts tour.  We just got back from Ft. Gordon, Ft. Stewart, and Ft. Rucker.

My family hasn't been on vacation in several years, but I absolutely love a cruise! My husband and I have only been on one cruise (our honeymoon), but we have memories from that that we still talk about 23 years later! I also don't care to fly, but I would be interested in a train trip, as long as there's scenery to be had.
