[quote=Anonymous]In general, I like exploring and experiencing different cultures and all that...but you know, life is busy. And often exhausting. Between my husband and I both working full time (me as a nurse practitioner in the NICU - a job that I love but that can be ridiculously tiring both physically and emotionally) and having two busy and active elementary schoolers...sometimes the last thing I want to do is traipse through a busy European city or try to navigate public transportation in a country halfway around the world where I don't speak the language or wake up at 3am to watch the sunrise from the top of a volcano. Sometimes it's nice to have a breather...where I can just relax, decompress, and only have to plan for things like what swimsuit I'm going to wear to the beach or at what point I should be cutting my 8 year old off from the soft serve machine.

Is it an authentic experience? Of course not. But it's painfully easy...and in the midst of all the busyness of day to day life...I don't think there's anything wrong with occasionally going for "easy."

Plus they're great for vacations with the extended family where there's a vast range of ages, interests, food preferences, etc.

In other words, it's the difference between "travel" and "vacation." [/quote]
