Vacation

The discussion of shoes made me wonder if there's a difference in the way the sexes look at vacation. I just got back from a week in Puerto Vallarta where my wife dragged me kicking and screaming.
The ONLY valid use for vacation is hunting, or perhaps fishing if you're into that. Why would anyone waste all that money and have nothing to show for it but a few pictures??
How about it?

Edit: I forgot to mention - Ideally, shaving is a prohibited activity while on vacation. Getting dressed in anything other than sweats is optional.
Me: a hotel room and an open schedule. Maybe a day doing something just for the kids, spend the rest of the time wandering around, sightseeing, hanging out, exploring.
We usually end up doing the go-go-go the first half of the day and wandering around exploring the second half. Works pretty well. I am in charge of photography. x:D
I also like to see new places, I've made it to Europe once - London - plenty to see, plenty to purchase, I loved it. Next transatlantic flight will be Sicily so I can see where my mother was born. But that will tie into the sun and sandy beach thing.
But you know, when I just need to get away for a few days, I pack a bag and head to New York. I just love that city - the energy, the lights, everything. There's just something about it that rejuvenates me. Oh, and did I mention the shopping?
I think that everyone should at least try to go to a different country at some point in their lives if they can afford it (Mexico is a different country but it is very Americanized). I grew up overseas and the introduction to different cultures was an eyeopener that will never leave me.
That being said, I agree with those that want a get up when you want, do what you want and relax or not as much as you want kind of vacation. We go to NC, outer banks every year with my Mom's side of the family and that is the family understanding. Thus, good times had by all. Great company too!
Better be careful; even on a three hour cruise, you never can tell what might happen, and you always have to be ready.
Also, after careful consideration, there is another legitimate use for vacation: To build or remodel something for a family member. Work from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and enjoy being with your family.
