[quote=Anonymous]I used to love travel but in recent years we've put a lot of money into our house.

We have a really expensive cappucino maker (like at a coffee house), we have our own pool, we have really nice furniture, really good mattresses on our beds, we have really nice landscaping in our backyard and great screen porches to eat on and hang out in.  We have nice big TV's.

I've noticed that lately whenever I go anywhere else I feel like we're camping out.  I'm in my early 50's and I feel like a bit of a fuddy-duddy, but honestly why would I pay money to go and stay at someplace that isn't as nice as my own home?

My husband is starting to talk about how maybe we should buy a beach house -- and I think it's because he feels the same way.  We could buy someplace nice and fix it up exactly like we like it -- or we could go somewhere else and not be sure what we're going to get and have to deal with neighbors and waiting for service at restaurants, etc.

Also, my husband is an awesome cook and he cooks all the time.  THe food and the surroundings are better at home. [/quote]
