My friend describes this as vacation people vs trip people. My husband and I are definitely trip people generally, but with kids in the picture it’s nice to get an actual vacation (relaxing) in once in a while. But there’s so much in the world we want to see!

My vacations (at least since I got married) are actually less relaxing than work. My wife likes to cram tons of activities and stuff into our vacation so we spend a lot of it rushing from one place to the next, getting up way early to get to the airport and so on.

Just wait until you have kids. Then you have the privilege of taking other people on vacation while you drive, haul, and pay for everything.

I hashed that out with my wife about a decade into the marriage by explaining the difference between a trip and a vacation.
Now we are clear on which one we are going on. Sometimes I stay home and take a vacation while she goes on a trip with a friend.

That’s smart
