SO FRICKING MUCH THIS.

This doesn't look like it should be all that controversial or unpopular, especially with all the reports of hosts charging ridiculous cleaning fees.

Even Disney? /jk

When we go on vacation the hubby will sleep 14 hours a day (split into overnight and naps). People always give him flack for wasting his vacation days but it makes him happy!

My son's grandparents offered to do a disneyworld trip with him when he was around 10. His response was just "Ew. No." LOL kid gets it. Disney is horrible. There is no magic there.

Can confirm!

This is so true, especially if you live somewhere with lots of natural beauty. Many people think you have to get in a plane to have a holiday, then spend the rest of the year complaining about global warming without seeing any connection.

That is very true, and some of those activities are great to watch but to actually participate in. Especially the older you get.

Well if I put my planning in and turns out the hotel is s**t despite glowing online reviews, I damn well will complain. I wrote a bad review for one among all the amazing after walked into a gorgeous lobby and the room was a place I would never let a stray dog sleep. Pubes all in the bed, dirty underwear, s**t splattered on the wall and toilet and a dog s**t foot print on the bottom of a pillow. My review got one view because google takes payouts

I make a point to eat local when I travel. But if I’ve been eating local for a while, I might indulge in a little taste of home one of my vacation days. Depends on what kind of mood my tastebuds are in that day. But I won’t do it every damn day. Why go on vacation if all you want is for everything to be just like home? If that’s what you want, save your money and take staycations instead.

Do not downvote me! I can't travel alone. I get scared about nothing and I jump at anything. I believe everything and would fall for the bad guy. Besides those, I love to talk while visiting and there'd be no one to talk to.

I have done some life changing tours with Viator.

Why though

A breakfast that says nice things about you? That would be good.

I agree. Airplanes are flying tubes of germs -not just COVID.

You can still go where the locals go in tourist-infested places like Cancun and Cabo. Just do some research beforehand.

We do 3 hours.

I did a day of finding the coldest and lowest priced beer in Pattaya Thailand one day. Cheapest was 50 baht (about $1.50) coldest was 55 baht (not much more). Gotta have a plan.

Oh but then I have to weigh myself... something I generally avoid ;-))

You can if you’d like to see rifts develop that reduce the number of “friends!”

I'm a socially anhedonic introvert, I actually could travel with both of them.

You can begin a trip with all your friends but you won't necessarily be returning with all of them.

Bet 😂

Oh yes and the free alcohols in all inclusive hotels give the mindset to people to " I will get my money worth by drink as much alcohol as I can"- is such a dumb way to plan anything. Because for this , it's better stay at home

Don't go to the United States then, Americans everywhere.

Not at all overrated. Just incredibly easy to do it “wrong.”

Well, if that’s the case why travel much at all. Find the closest, cheapest all inclusive resort that fits the bill.

You'll change your tune when your clothing is sent around the world someplace.

People can take whatever they want. Why would someone care what other people pack?

Absurd.

No they won’t. TSA will confiscate it and you’ll have to either lose your gun or, if they’re feeling especially nice that day, you can call someone to take it home for you. I worked for TSA for five years, and unless you’re an Air Marshall or other law enforcement, you can forget trying to take a damned gun on a plane.

Four full days is what I need to get over the jetlag from the time difference. What the heck are you talking about?! :)

That’s utter nonsense from someone who clearly knows f*ck all about living aloha or about the economics of Hawaii. Venture out, visit often, be educated, be respectful, follow the rules and common sense, be grateful, be generous of spirit, and aloha ‘aina (respect the land and preserve it with your actions).
