    Looking forward to my first visit to Europe next week…London and Paris, here we come! A lot of formal tours don’t really interest me. As long as I’m able to walk, sight-see and take loads of pictures, I’ll be thrilled. Meeting new people, speaking beginner’s French, seeing what I’ve only seen in magazines, newspapers and movies….can’t wait!

    We like to see as much as we can when we travel–figure we’ll rest when we get back home. Each day we usually do something cultural, enjoy some of the local cuisine, then throw in a little “retail” experience. Seems to work for us.

    We love hanging out in local haunts, Picking up the vibe of the area and keeping sightseeing limited to the things of interest. It’s not much fun waiting in endless lines just to say, “Yup, there it is.”

    I agree with Patick Milligan. I,too, prefer to relax on vacation. But I want to see as much as I can of the sites. I prefer cruising or staying at a resort and taking day trips as opposed to packing and repacking daily. I also prefer traveling with a tour group because it seems safer than traveling alone.

    I want to see & do as much as possible. I can sit in front of the tv any night at home to do as little as possible. Vacatious are for getting away from the day-to-day and exploring new sights and activities!

    I travel to do as much as possible; do a lot of research and pack it all in.

    But, as my life and career grows in responsiblity and stress – I’m trying to convince myself that do as little as possible is OK too.

    I prefer to relax when I go on a vacation. I don’t want to scramble from pillar to post. I want to visit main sites, but I want it to be my option whether or not to visit. I don’t want to repack every night for travel next morning. And yet I want to travel with a tour group, not on my own.

    I use vacations to do as much as possible but also plan activities so that at least one day is left to do as little as possible or nothing at all. Similar to a sea day on a cruise.

    We use our hotel/B&B as a base and go to a new place every day, either by public transport or our own car or rental car. The trick is not trying to do too much in one day, and wearing yourself out. We enjoy “living like the locals” as much as we can.

    When I go to another country, I want to explore as much of it as time allows. I frequently go to Ireland and I love exploring the countryside absorbing new sights and sound, getting to know the people (who are wonderful), going into pubs for music and fun,and just taking in the absolutely breathtaking scenery. I want to see all I can. I will read at night in bed.

    if we were younger maybe we would be more of an active tourer, but as we age, we still go to as many places as we can because we have spent so much to get there from an island, and will probab.ly naver go back. we can rest at home

    We use vacations to do and see as much new to us as we can. Local culture, food, history and ambiance are the focus of the trips.

    We can sit around and read at home.
