[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood the appeal of living like a local. The best vacations are nothing like how locals live. [/quote]

No, that’s not a vacation.  That’s artificial and you learn nothing.

OP here.  I never really said I “live like a local.”  But when I go on, ahem, “vacation” I like to go where I’m fluent in the (second) language, spend extra time, get to know people, and return and see them again.  And I always take my time.  There’s nothing better just doing nothing for a day or two when you’re traveling because you know there’s no rush. Or when you’re walking down the street and people see you and wave to you because they know you. And you have phone numbers and you exchange WhatsApp messages with your new and old friends when you’re back in the states.

It’s just a different, and better experience. To me when you have an “itinerary” and “must sees” and you’re in some fancy hotel and it’s all about “where are we going to eat?“ that’s not fun to me.  That’s work — just of a different kind.  Boring.  No thank you. [/quote]

How much PTO do you get in a year?[/quote]

I retired young.  Haven’t worked in 10+ years. [/quote]

Too funny. I married well and have never worked. [/quote]
