[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the issue may be what you've touched on, they are more outward-going and want to go an experience things on vacation.  You are more of an introvert and want to relax and chill on vacation.

My own sister is like this and frankly, it makes vacationing together difficult.  We want to go and do things and she wants to hang out in a hotel, at the pool or go somewhere quiet.  For the rest of the family, we feel like we just spent thousands of dollars to do something we could have done at any hotel back in the states for 1/10 the cost of what we spent.  We don't want to go to Paris and sit in a little cafe and people watch.  But when we talk about taking hikes or sight-seeing or visiting attractions, she'll want to do a little and then get a break.  So, wants little trips for short periods and then go back to the hotel.  We want to go out and spend a day and she nixes these things.  Frankly, I could understand this situation as I now limit the times when I travel with my sister as it isn't worth the money.

If you vacation differently, as your OP suggests, then they may want to have a more active vacation with more activity than you've previously been open to.  If you want to join them, suggest that you'll all go together, but they can plan daily activities for themselves and you'll join when you are interested, but will occupy yourself when you aren't.  If you give them the freedom to plan their activities including things that you may not be interested in, then they may be more open to you joining them.
