I enjoy travel more than vacations. Instead of "vacate," I fill my travels with adventurous activities, cultural exploration, architectural beauty, and food. To me, visiting the same place for a second time loses that initial excitement. Of course I have my favorite places I don't mind returning anytime. But I'd like to make a conscious effort in seeing a variety of places, new places, in the U.S. and around the world.

Why would I return to the same vacation home each time, when there is so much out there that I haven't seen and experienced yet? I would rather rent a condo each time and explore a new area. Or perhaps go deep into Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, or Southeast Asia. Constant change of scenery, a sense of remoteness, and unfamiliarity. I love coming back home with a sense of achievement.

A vacation home/cabin seems dull and un-creative. Minnesotans seem very backward and provincial.

What's your opinions?
My opinion?

You are a world traveler, others like to go to the cabin, for their own reasons, what is the big deal?
