I have been on vacation for a week....I went to Watertown So.Dak to see the Terry Redlin Gallery with my sister and it took two days...came home had a day here then had a craft sale down in Iowa. This morning I am leaving for Wisconsin for three days then meeting my sister at my camper up north for a few days too....then head home and go back to work. I have really enjoyed my days at home. I want to spend time with my friend and my sister but in all honesty all the running around is getting old.....so would you prefer to go someplace on vacation? Or would you rather just stay home? See you all in a week!

The older I get the more I prefer to stay home. We have an older dog that needs to taken care of and it's just easier to be here. Am going to see our daughter next month in New Mexico but my husband is going to stay here. He pretty much uses his vacation to travel with his softball team. We both still work and I also babysit our youngest grandbaby a couple of times a week or more. I love my house and like being in this part of the country.

Yes.....I am getting to the point where I would like to just stay home too...but with the kids living so far away it's the only way I get to see them!

We have one daughter living out of state but the other 2 are here. Haven't seen them since Thanksgiving so am anxious to get there and visit for a few days. Otherwise I am content staying home.

hi jill! nice to hear you enjoyed your vacation. ^^ for me it depends. there are days that i'd rather be outside hanging out with friends and there are days that i just want to stay home. if i have money, i'd rather go some place during vacation. when i don't have money, i prefer to stay at home. ^^;; if its a long vacation, i won't let it end without going some where with friends. like if its a week vacation, i'll probably go somewhere. but if its a short vacation like 2 days, i'd prefer to stay at home and rest. but if someone would invite me somewhere and it would sound nice, then i'll probably go. ^^;;

If I had the money , I would go away. There are three trips I would love to take. First one is a train ride to chicago and spend the weekend. Another is a week in Tuscany. And last but not least a month trip to Britain. it would take a month because the more I hear and see on t.v. , the more is added to this trip.

Hey jill! I hope that you enjoy your vacation! If I am going on vacation I would prefer that it is really a VACATION! I don't like to be running around from place to place! I would like to go somewhere and stay there! I don't really like to be away from home at all! I much prefer to just be at home! I never was able to be comfortable anywhere else but in the comfort of my own home! Even when I go to visit my mother I am not totally comfortable and I have my own room there or the guest room! I hate to travel and don't like to sleep anywhere else but my own bed! I have enough trouble sleeping in my own bed as it is so anywhere else is really miserable for me! I do hope that you have a good time whereever you are going and will see you when you get back! Hugs, Opal

if i am on vacation, i'd rather go out and see new places. i love traveling but at present, i am limited by money. i want to travel as tourist and visit the many wonderful places in the world. i'm still young so i have high hopes. traveling is fun, especially if you are with great friends and even greater loved ones.

I like to go for trip. But frankly now the budget is tight plus I do not have that mood. I am bogged by so many things in life , career. so no vacations.

I would much rather go on vacation overseas than stay at home. It would be challenging to feel all that relaxed at home because there is always so much that needs to be done. In a week I would be able to fly to a destination within Europe or North Africa. I might go to Iceland, Cyprus or Egypt. It would be best to go to Iceland in Summer, to Cyprus in spring or autumn and to Egypt in winter for some much needed sunshine.

I'm not sure if I'd like to do all that running around that you did. Sounds like work all over again. When I go on vacation it's usually to one place, like camping, and just kind of running around there, but I wouldn't like to come home, and go back out again, come home and go back out again. Do you know what I mean or am I not making any sense today?, haha. I guess I'd rather do all the running around in one big place, maybe that's what I'm trying to say..oh good grief. I need a job.

Well, it depends on the time and of course if I have an extra money. Just this summer I spend my vacation with my husband and son. We went to different places although its not out of the country but its in different places in our country. Our country has around 7100 islands so there are plenty of places to go. We went to different places enjoyed the beaches, waterfalls, and went horseback riding and many more. I really love to go on vacation. But well, we do not do it often. It depends on the extra money that we have. See you around!

I prefer to stay at home and just sleep. LOL. But if I can do that on my vacation, then why not? hehe. I hate vacations wherein you are always on the move, visit this place and that place, eat in this restaurant and what-nots. It's just too tiring, a perfect vacation for me would be to stay all day in my hotel, or in a beach, with nothing to do but sleep, read and eat. =)

Since my work requires me to be away from my family, im working in the city, 3 horus bus ride, so whenever i get some time off, i always go home and spend time with my family and friends. Although there are times that we go out of town with my family but that usually depends on my schedule and my brothers.

I depends on how long my vacation would be. If it is just for one or two days, then I'd rather stay at home. When I am at home, I love having a movie marathon or a tv show marathon. When my vacations are for more than two days, I definitely would love to go to other countries to travel. It would be a refreshing change of scenery and would enable me to learn new things while enjoying myself immensely at the same time.

I would stay home if I had a vacation for a week.Now I'm quite busy on working,and my working place is a little far from my parents'house. So I really want to stay home with my parents when the vacation comes, what's more i miss my dog.

I would much rather go some where on vacation. Sure i live in the beautiful state of colorado and many people visit here every summer, fall, and winter but it just is not as exciting if you live here. I love to visit the East coast, like Washington D.C. and Maine. So overall i would much rather go out of state.
