[quote=Anonymous]I would never say I hate to travel, because I love it. But I do adore my house enough that we choose not to travel often specifically so we can spend time at home. We have friends who are out of town every weekend, or who will spend every holiday on vacation. No judgment (people should do what they want) but I could never do that because our house just feels so good to me in. It's thoughtfully laid out and decorated. Our furniture is attractive and comfortable and carefully selected to suit our lifestyle. Our kitchen has everything we need and we have a well stocked pantry and freezer. And so on. It's truly impossible to find all these creature comforts while on vacation, no matter how much money we spend. It's the kind of stuff that takes lots of planning and thought. Also, we have a cat who I adore and I find his presence very soothing and pleasant.

All of which is why Covid-era travel is a real bummer for me. I have not been into the whole "get an Air BnB out in the country or near a lake" Covid travel protocol. I mean, I enjoy a lake house so we can swim and go kayaking, but I get sick of a rental house quickly and want to be back home in my much nicer, prettier, more comfortable home. We finally started staying in hotels and doing city vacations after we got vaccinated, and that's much more my speed. If I'm going to spend a significant of time away from my house, I want daily maid service, access to good restaurants, and to see things I can't see where I live (cool museums, different architecture, markets, etc.). I don't see the point in spending more than a couple days in a rental house a few hours from my regular house, sleeping in a less comfortable bed and having to order out or try and pick up enough groceries to make okay meals in a poorly stocked kitchen. And the idea of spending every weekend in a rental like that, or just doing quick overnights in mediocre hotels just sounds like a bummer to me.[/quote]
