DH likes to be adventurous though. We usually compromise and are active for a few hours followed by good old fashioned lazy time at the beach or pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1234136 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:11:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1234136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before: exploring, taking pictures, trying new food<br /> Now: no schedule, food cooked for me, somewhere warm, palm trees a plus </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1234118 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:03:39 +0000 Boheme 1234118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beach, sleep, tropical drinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1234112 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:02:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1234112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food, sites &amp; stories (history, trivia), fun experiences </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1234099 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:55:07 +0000 mrs. 64 1234099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to have a good mix of downtime and doing stuff, but frequently I am go-go-go on vacations because I want to see everything. Though once I had a full sightseeing agenda planned and abandoned it all to rent a lounger and nap on the beach all day. It was the best decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233770 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:24:58 +0000 pui 1233770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: I love hiking and exploring too, but I consider those "trips" not "vacations" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233766 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:24:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1233766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anywhere where I don't have to cook or clean!

I can barely last two hours sitting on a beach. I need adventure in my vacations - backpacking, hiking, excursions. Something outdoors is my favorite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233758 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:23:00 +0000 .twist. 1233758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: agreed, just somewhere away from my day to day duties! And no family. I did 2 weeks with my parents on our annual vacation and it was fun sucking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233748 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:20:37 +0000 pui 1233748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not having to do anything. Preferably on a beach, but not required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233744 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:20:12 +0000 shinymama 1233744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beach, booze, books. In that order. No humidity ranks pretty high too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233730 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:16:38 +0000 Littlebit 1233730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a mix. I like sitting on the beach for a day or so before I get bored. I need something fun (para sailing, jet skiing, going on a tour, etc.) to balance it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233701 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:10:22 +0000 MediaNaranja 1233701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll go against the grain and say that the idea of lounging on a beach for several days in a row bores me to tears. I can do that for half a day, max. An all-inclusive resort would be the death of me, lol.</p> <p>My ideal vacation is one filled with a lot of (but not too many) activities--a good mix of both physical and cultural. I love just walking around a getting lost, and am happy to just go to a bus or train station and buy the ticket to the destination that leaves first. I've had some of my best trips that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233076 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:06:59 +0000 yoursilverlining 1233076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anywhere away from extended family and normal life responsibilities. I don't consider going to visit family a real vacation, since there are always obligations and stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233075 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:06:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1233075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I couldn't agree more! It's no longer a vacation when there are kids... well, not *my* idea of vacation. There's no relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233042 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:01:58 +0000 HLK208 1233042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting away from home for whatever reason is a vacation to me!</p> <p>Awhile ago, I would have said hot weather + beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233031 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:59:40 +0000 Mamaof2 1233031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no kids =)</p> <p>Seriously though...now that we have kids "vacation" is never really a "break" its hard work!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233021 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:58:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 1233021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. I like the idea of a tropical beach vacation but I think I'd get bored just lounging. We went mountain climbing on our honeymoon!</p> <p>I think I'd really enjoy traveling around Europe, or an adventure vacation of some sort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-idea-of-a-vacation#post-1233008 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 13:56:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 1233008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto!
