Manda, hope you enjoyed your vacation a lot. Don't worry too much. You can always relax yourself and get back to comment in here, when you are free. I had been on and off in here, when i have the chance to have some short vacations during the school break of my son. I am planning for a much longer vacation within the next few months time. Happy vacation to you and family...

I like to go to ruins. I like old stuff - really old stuff, but if I work on it, I can get interested in more recent stuff too.

I like going to ruins. Rome was a lot of fun for me, probably would've been more fun if I hadn't been stuck with family and tours! I enjoyed going to Stonehenge, Sarum, Avebury and Bath. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Sarum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avebury

Hi Manda, Sorry to be so late in responding to this. Glad to hear that you had a great time on your vacation! It has been years since I've actually taken a real vacation. I'm not whining though. I work long hours for four days out of the week which gives me 3 days in a row off during the week. While I can't afford to really travel and do a vacation so to speak, this kind of time does allow for day trips and just wind-down time. If I go anywhere, it is usually to gather my girls and go to the ocean for the day. I grew up on the coast and I always crave it. It's always a good time. Camping is also a fun time although not as relaxing as you'd think if you only have a couple of days. Just time away from the job is always something I look forward even if I just stay home and do whatever....freedom!

We never had a really long vacation. The longest is during Christmas break. By simply being together and spending time with our family we make out the most of our vacation. We usually meet up with friends or relatives we haven't seen for a long time.

For me, spending time with my family is the best part of Christmas.

Yes, I agree. That's the best part of Christmas. I don't mind long travel hours just to be with my family and relatives.

I love walking around and just seeing the sites. if I am in a city that is on lakes, rivers or especially the ocean, I love walking to the water and walking along the water. I love seeing the water. If I am in a hilly or mountainous area, I love looking at the mountains and being in the mountains. I mainly like looking around at the scenery and that is very relaxing. Where are you on vacation?

Sounds good to me. I am in Central Texas and it is 100 day after day after day. I sure would like to be at the beach.

Vacation would be nice, because out of a boring routine. I am retired, so I'm off every day.

Hi. Am happy to learn that you are having fun with your family on your vacation. During my vacation, I just enjoy thinking nothing about the work. Eating and simply lying down on the bed while watching comedy shows/movies definitely make me relax. I wish I will have a vacation again.

Hi MandaLee, Glad to know that you're having a nice time with your family while on vacation. It is really enjoying to be having a vacation with our family and with friends too. Going to some places in a new place or simply relaxing with them in a nice cottage or in the beach is really relaxing and fun.

If I have my vacation on a beach, I prefer to lie on the sand and feel the breeze and waves of the water if I go to a forest like place I just enjoy the scenery of God's creation. Most of all I don't allow any work-related problem when I am enjoying my vacation.

Yes, God's creation is so beautiful. Vacation is a wonderful time for rest and relaxation.

I found myself having huge attraction with different adventure activities. It's one thing that made me realized how wonderful the world is. I love doing trips into the woods such as trekking, camping, and mountain climbing. I'd love to do para sailing, surfing, wind gliding, jet skiing, zip lining, etc.

After many years of not vacationing, I recently went on a mini holiday with a group of friends. We hired a bus and had 3 days of non stop activities, it was awesome. We are going again in October when I will also celebrate my 6oth birthday and we have some great times planned for then as well. Prior to these type of holidays, I would go camping and my favourite times were going off exploring on my own and reading.

Glad you are having fun. My favorite thing is the hotel. Just that I don't have to be the one to clean up. I know, simple things, but that's part of the fun.

Hi Ambie, I love staying in hotels too. Are hotel beds comfortable or what? LOL.

Great to hear you are having a great time. I usually like the lack of responsibility and schedules when I take vacation. Sometimes just getting away for a while is just what I need.

My husband and I enjoy going out alone and spending time with just the two of us together. We try to do this on a yearly basis. We spend two to three days alone to relax every once in a while. Anywhere far from home, around three to four hours ride would be fine, nowhere specific, just away from the pressures of home and work. But when with the whole family, we prefer going to places where the kids can enjoy swimming, in beaches or resorts. But we usually just stay there for a day only. It's difficult to bring that much clothes and other necessities for the three kids you know. :)

That is so important for you and your husband to make spending time alone a priority.

hi dear Manda Lee I am glad you had such a great family time. I am late in commenting cause I was working till 17th and had last week and have also this week off. I just love staying home nto only for financial reasons. Not having the alarm clock getting me out of bed, instead enjoying as much coffee as I want, being online, writing snail mail and reading are my favourite things to do when I am off work. Plus not to forget my church. I try to at least go to one Weekday Holy Mass a week when I dont have to work.
