Anyone Else Here Hate Going Anywhere?
Fortunately I was able to see some different places when I was younger, thanks US Army! There are places that I still would have liked to seen, but there are other people there. Not a fan, of people. Wife is borderline agoraphobic, so we rarely travel much at all, which I'm good with.
Typhoon It depends. I love the 2 golf trips I usually take each year. I don't travel all that much for work these days which is nice, but I usually hate that as I almost always have flights I have to get up at 3am for and get home 1 am.
The wife and I really don't go anywhere because she'd be in a wheelchair 99% of the time. We always go to Boston to visit my oldest and while I love my kid, I absolutely hate driving around Boston. Plus every trip with the wife is dropping her off as close as possible to where we're going and then I drive around looking for a parking spot. We have a handicap placard for car, but I won't use it since she insists on door to door service and I can walk just fine.
I'd rather stay home even more than I do now. So much stuff to do around the house and I feel like I just don't have enough time to take care of it all. I'm definitely a homebody person.
I wouldn't say I hate it. I enjoy traveling the state and experiencing what is local, as it relates to golf, food, and local brewery or taproom. Sometimes it exceeds expectations. Not a fan of airplanes, airports, and large sums of people....in small doses it's ok! Try to make the best of it!
I just returned from Chicago yesterday. Flew there to visit our daughter & some friends. The trip reminded me how much I dislike air travel anymore. It was fairly enjoyable when I first flew commercial 40 some years ago. I’ve been fortunate to have made 2 trips to the UK, so far. We will likely make another trip there in the next few years - though I’m not looking forward to the long flight there.
Other than the unpredictability of it (cancelling flights or delaying long enough to miss a connection) I don't mind air travel. I'd rather spend 5 hours in airports and airplanes than behind the wheel. Once autonomous driving cars are considered safe that my change for me though. Love the idea of telling the car to take me somewhere and then it does.
My idea of a good vacation is my wife and I get into the car with the idea of a destination but no real timeline.
We drive where we want to each day and when we get someplace we want to stay for the night (or two) we stay there.
When we decide to leave that location we do so. We finally end up at our destination and stay for as long as we want to and then head home like we did in heading to our destination. We haven't been able to do this many times but that's my preferred way to travel.
I HATE traveling. My wife wants to travel . I’d rather stay home and work
