Favorite: Too many to list, but mostly going somewhere new with people I love.

Least favorite: It's not really a surprise, but crowds and standing in line for everything. I still do it (Disney, airports, popular destinations during the summer).

We are not really into sitting on a beach or going to a pool. When we visit somewhere whether it is another state in the US or another country we want to see as much as we can we go to all different types of attractions and are on the go all day.

Sightseeing, especially things that are very iconic, and doing bucket-list type of activities like helmet diving and walking up Mt. Vesuvius. We also travel a bit just to see our favorite sports team play (Toronto Raptors), and that's something we love.

Dislikes are beach days and shopping in local markets.

Unlike lots of people, we like vacations at places we've been too-especially national parks off season, beaches off season, where we can rest and unwind.
Dislike cities with lots of traffic, noise, and hub bub.

Favorite: It begins and the planning starts.
Least favorite: It’s over and a chapter ends.

It really depends on the destination I suppose.

Favorites:

• Hanging out at the beach.
• Hanging out at the pool.
• Sitting on a balcony drinking coffee in the morning, or wine of an evening.
• The tours/attractions that *I* want to see/do.

Least Favorites:

• SHOPPING (I hold the belief that you will not find any real bargains in a touristy area) Also, I just find looking at overpriced junky stuff that I would never really use or wear to be quite boring. I also do not care much for grocery shopping on vacation. It is stressful trying to figure out what we will have enough of, but not too much of.
• The tours/attractions that *others* want to do.
• Traveling from "point A to point B" and vice versa. The actual travel be it by air or car really stresses me out.

Good one! Getting there is definitely not half-the-fun. Driving is tedious but air travel is totally loathsome.
