The Two Types of Vacationers:

Me: Hey Honey, what do you want to do on vacation? I want to walk somewhere lovely and try something new every day.

Hubs: Sleep as long as I want.

I want to pre-vacation, where I sleep a whole lot and am rested enough to do interesting things on my vacation.

@RickiTarr
Lol. I'm the "Do stuff!", my wife is the "Sleeeeeepppp!"

@RickiTarr In my marriage, we have developed the terms 'Traveling' vs. 'Vacationing.' The dialectic is neverending. (I am currently flying home from twelve days of TRAVELING in Greece. Oy.)

@RickiTarr As a rule, my family's only organized activities on vacation were designating which restaurants to visit each day.

Everything else was left unstructured.

@RickiTarr
Me: I want to do everything that isn't based on a specific time. I live running against time everyday. I want to wake up and go.
Hubs: But we need to have a pla...
Me: No we don't

Spontaneity is not my hubs forte.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@YadyO LOL I used to be hubs, but I've mellowed and found that the super plan has a time and a place, but maybe isn't conducive to relaxing lol

@YadyO@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr
It definitely isn't relaxing 😅
It is also very difficult to find things that aren't bound to time either unless you self tour. 🤷‍♀️

@RickiTarr

  • Cook local food
  • Eat local food

I fear I'm rather eat-centric. :eyeroll:

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@MarkRDavid Same, the new thing is usually a food or beverage item lol

@RickiTarr I’m both. Plus food. Vacation is trying new tasty food. Sorry, that’s the rule. I don’t make the rules.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@olena Trying new foods is essential

@RickiTarr @olena I love staying in hotels but I do not like when hotel breakfasts finish at like 10am. When am I supposed to get my sleeping in?

@RickiTarr Ooh this hits home. Early in our marriage, we had this conversation more than a few times.

Her: What do you want to do for your birthday?

Me: Nothing.

Her: ...nothing?

Me: Absolutely nothing.

Her: That makes no sense! We could do so many things!

Me: I want nothing.

Her: But we could—

Me: no

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@middleclasstool HOW DARE YOU LOL

I always tell people they may not want to celebrate themselves but the people who love you do want to celebrate you. But in the end I would never plan something someone didn't want to do or had no interest in.

@RickiTarr attending my own birthday party as a favor to the friends who care about me more than I do

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@mxyzptlk LOL yep, I have friends like that

@RickiTarr
Me: go someplace every day, do something new.
Hub (when alive.): I'll beat you to the car!
When we were younger we were very adventurous. Also very broke.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@fmhilton I feel that

RolloTreadway,
@RolloTreadway@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr I like to walk and also to lounge about. Always look to go somewhere that has good opportunities for both (I'd rather not lounge about indoors as I can do that at home).

Above all, though, I like to go and buy food. Absolutely love food shopping in other countries.

@maxleibman@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr Her: Let’s sleep under the stars and go cliff-diving at dawn!

Me: Let’s get a hotel with a pool and then not use it.

@RickiTarr our family vacations tend to involve a lot of cultural immersion, museums, and other adventures. We’re all basically on the same page about that. We have friends who live very differently, however, including one family of beach-layabouts, whose daughter complained about a trip to DC “This is like a Toast family vacation, I’m exhausted!”

@textualdeviance@retro.pizza avatar

@RickiTarr Sounds like you need a cruise. Plenty of time to pass out in a lounge chair, but also go do touristy stuff when you're in port. You could even do different stuff and then meet back up for dinner to chat about the day.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@textualdeviance Oh God no, I don't like being stuck in a place with people lol, plus my happy place is exploring, very claustrophobic for me

@RickiTarr
What's a vacation? 🤔

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@OhOkKay Oh no

OhOkKay,
@OhOkKay@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr
Went camping once ... which means I got to cook and clean some place else without hydro or running water... fun times!
Not.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@OhOkKay Yep, I love the outdoors, but I need a real toliet and indoor heating and cooling

OhOkKay, (edited )
@OhOkKay@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr
I'm joking. But vacation were rare and generally spent as staycations or catching up on big chores around the house. But the first few days... sleeping!!

@Kierkegaanks@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr @OhOkKay and bed without dew
