[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I travel, sometimes I take a vacation. For me they are not the same thing. If I go to an AI or Disney that's a vacation. Meals and activities are onsite and I don't have to think much at all.
Travel is trying new things, doing research, taking more risks. I like both and think they are all valid, good uses of money and time.[/quote]

I am the poster from above with the AI-hating spouse and this is a perfect explanation -- I'm going to use it with my DH. It perfectly encapsulates why I sometimes like to book a trip to a resort even though, yes, the food will likely be mediocre and the experience will be somewhat generic. I just want to sit by a pool and read a book and have someone bring me a drink when I want it. And I want a kid's club so I get an actual break from the kids and to just have nowhere I have to be and no schedule I need to keep.

I also kind of love the cheesiness of resorts sometimes, like when they'll host an ice cream social in the lobby on Friday afternoon or something. Kids love this stuff and there is something very retro about it that I do too. Who doesn't enjoy a sundae bar? Or being able to order some ridiculous drink at the bar just because (at AI resorts I will order stuff like mudslides or piña coladas that I would normally never have because when in Rome...).[/quote]
