What kind of vacations do you like?

[Cant trust em]

Are you into urban culture?

Lazy beach vacations?

Backpacking through the mountains?

Road trips?

[Initech]

1. The kind where you get massively fucked up. Like my recent trip to Europe.

:toast: :smoke:

[Cant trust em]

5. Where did you go?

Two years ago I had a European trip that started in Oktoberfest and ended in Amsterdam.

[Initech]

22. All over.

Started in Amsterdam, went through Brussels, then onto Berlin, backtracked to Koln and back to Amsterdam. So much fun.

[NJmaverick]

2. I like one with lots to do

can be urban or the great outdoors, as long as I have lots to do.

[TZ]

3. This type:

Aruba..still my most favorite place EVER...

[Gormy Cuss]

10. And it shows!

Great picture, TZ.

[redqueen]

4. I'll get back with you if I ever take one. (nt)

[vadawg]

6. i dont do vacations, my wife always gets on my ass about wanting one as well

i guess eventually i will have to take some time of work and take the kids to disneyworld or something, but honestly i enjoy working and everything i want or need is close to my house...

[Bunny]

7. A lazy beach vacation with my baby.

:loveya:

[LanternWaste]

8. i usually just stay in and read & watch movies...

I usually just stay in and read & watch movies, but if I had the opportunity, I'd *love* to take a two-week walking tour/vacation along the Welsh-English border. Just myself, and a notebook, a camera, and just walk and look...

[Gormy Cuss]

9. Any kind that involves seeing and doing new things.

I love large cities with strong identities like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. I also love seeing the wonders of nature, but a vacation for me can be a simple one day trip to the coast or mountains. About the only thing that doesn't interest me is a cruise ship.

[dropkickpa]

11. Sitting on my ass doing nothing

I don't ever get a chance to do that, so it's bliss when I get a chance to do it.

[Skittles]

24. I hear you, dropkickpa

growing up as a GI brat has made travel less exciting to me and I too enjoy a vacation where I get to just fucking do NOTHING

[Rambis]

12. Pub

sittin in a pub with a pint of Guinness, bowl of lamb stew or some prawns listening to a session. Then back to the cottage.

[bikebloke]

13. Exploring new countries

Though the way I go walkabout, it's not much of a rest. Especially since I have a habit of skipping food - I always tell myself I'll grab something further on, then end up eating kiosk cookies.

Next month, I tackle Turkey.

[Kali]

16. !

Where are you going? I had a chance to go in 2002 - LOVED it. I REALLY want to get back to see more.

[bikebloke]

23. Istanbul...to begin and end

Then Cappadocia.

Then it's up in the air. Perhaps down to Olympos. Or across to Selcuk/Efus (I've been through Greece several times so I'm afraid it'll be more of the same. Plus the mobs of cruise shippers on shore leave might keep me at bay).

Unlike my long open-ended travels - as long as the savings were stretched - I have shy of two weeks, so I'll probably finalize my plans once my hooves are on the ground.

Does anyone want me to pick them up a carpet? I could email it to you.

[Kali]

25. loved Capadoccia and the SW coast

didn't do Istanbul, Konya and Antalya were big enough cities for me LOL.

We stayed in the Sofa Hotel in Avanos while we worked with a local ceramic artist, Erdugan Gulec. He does murals and other kind of non-traditional work. Rode great little Cappadocian horses a couple of times and ate GREAT food the whole trip.

I had a carpet mailed from Hattusia, it got here just fine. E-mail some Saz music and raki instead.;-)

[SteppingRazor]

19. Went to Istanbul last year. Might be my favorite city.

Can't say enough good about Turkey. Very friendly people, astounding architecture, exotic culture to these Western eyes and ears ... just an all-around great time. And the food! Wow!

If you're going to Istanbul on your Turkey trip, go to the Pudding Shop, and get an Alexander kabob. You'll thank me later. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I love travelling where I've never been...

With my husband, and compatible fellow travelers!

We went to Central Europe this last spring, on a river cruise. It was fantastic!

:hi:

[Kali]

15. I like all those.

Traveling is what I call it, though. To me a vacation means doing NOTHING. Travel (or the kind of vacation that requires planning and lots of activities) is more work than work - you need a vacation after one of those!

[SteppingRazor]

17. Anything, as long as it's someplace new.

I've tramped through a good deal of America, so my big vacations the last couple years have all involved Europe. My wife and I have been hugely blessed (and, admittedly, a bit crazy) in being able to afford these trips, but I think our trip to Ireland next week will probably be the last one for a long time.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. Camping in the woods. We live about 30 minutes from the Ozark National Forest

which has open camping. Unless it's is posted otherwise, you can set up a camp just about anywhere you can get to. This is a little creek where we've camped many times in the past 30 years or so. There are dozens of places just as pretty if you enjoy primitive camping.

[Cant trust em]

20. I'm not into "primitive" camping. I need to have wifi.

Just kidding.

I'm easily self-amused.

[Broken_Hero]

21. hmm, probably roadtrip

with backpacking thrown in every now and then...seeing the sites and what not. Hopefully we are going on vacation sometime next month, or October, the wife and I need it badly.

[XemaSab]

26. Birding the living bejesus out of an area

:D

[Cant trust em]

32. I didn't like birds until I took a trip to Tanzania, where I took this picture

[XemaSab]

33. Lilac-breasted Roller?

Beautiful shot!

[Cant trust em]

34. She knows her birds, ladies and gentlemen! nt

[XemaSab]

35. I'm just happy to have an excuse to use my "Birds of Africa" guide

:)

[Cant trust em]

38. If you can make it happen, I highly recommend going to Africa.

The trip blew me away.

I saved for quite a while to pay for it, but it was truly amazing.

[XemaSab]

39. I would LOVE to go

:)

[Cant trust em]

40. If you're interested...

[XemaSab]

41. Dont tutch the but

[XemaSab]

43. Let's see...

Pink-backed Pelican, Ostrich, Lappet-faced Vulture, White-backed Vulture, the roller, Greater Flamingo, and Tanzanian Red-billed Hornbill, I'm sure there's something else in with the flamingos but I just can't get a lock on it.

How close were you to that lioness? :o

Epic, epic, epic pictures! :o

[Cant trust em]

44. That's my head sticking out the side.

[XemaSab]

45. I think I saw an episode of Untamed and Uncut that started that way

:o

[Cant trust em]

47. Probably not my smartest moment...

but somehow I knew that she wasn't too interested in me.

[evlbstrd]

27. Paid.

[muffin1]

28. Too poor to go to Hatteras, my favorite place of all, so...

Couch? check
PJs? check
Coffee? check
Good flick or two? check
Good weed? check
Vicodin? One can dream.

[azmouse]

29. If I ever took a vacation I'd like to see a part of the US that I haven't seen yet.

The Pacific Northwest would be nice.

[hippywife]

30. We love to go camping

where there are few people around, so usually end up going mostly primitive and during the off season. Second to that only are vacations where we get to stay at home, our own little haven from the world. :hi:

[SoxFan]

31. The City Thing

Fortunately for others with working eyes, I am not really into sitting on a beach. Give me a city where I can find museums, cool architecture, historic sites, funky neighborhoods, and some sort of odd local cuisine.

[PassingFair]

36. The kind where I don't have to WORK.

Doesn't matter WHAT I do....

[unpossibles]

37. all of the above and more

I like all kinds of vacations. Exploring new cities, eating new food, hitting the beach, skiing, going out to the middle of nowhere, even staying in town can be enjoyable to do all the things you normally might not take time to do.

[begin_within]

42. Beautiful natural scenery is most important to me.

Historic value is secondary, hiking, climbing and strenuous activities are not interesting unless they are easy hikes, luxurious accomodations are unnecessary but I don't like camping all that much either. Scenery, peacefulness, wildlife and natural beauty are the key for me.

[mentalsolstice]

46. I like combination vacations

With chance to be lazy, but with some opportunities to sight-see.

[Pharlo]

48. Puttering around the house or the yard

and spending time with The Damn Mutts. Maybe through in a day trip to the zoo, the Museum or the Art Museum, but most of the time, spent with The Damn Mutts puttering around the house.
