THE QUESTIONS
1) When was the last time you traveled by yourself on a vacation, (not to visit friends/relatives), and where did you go?
- If you liked traveling by yourself, what did you like about it?
- If you won't travel by yourself or never traveled by yourself, what is the reason? I've never traveled by myself on vacation, just on business or to visit/help a family member in another city. Why? When single I always had a good friend to go with, and since have been married for 50 years so have a wife to take along.
2) If you are on a road trip, where you will be in a vehicle most of the day, what kind of snacks and/or drinks do you bring with you in your vehicle, if any? Bottles of water, protein bars, bag of jerky.

3) Do you pack the car for a multi-day vacation the day you leave, the day or night before you leave or a few days before you leave? Always that morning, with the car prowls today it's asking for trouble to pack earlier. It takes only 10 minutes at most.

a) bring groceries from home
b) shop for groceries at your vacation spot
c) eat out every night

- What are you likely to bring too much or too little of with you? If anything, clothes.

8) Are there gender roles in your household for who does what when you go on vacation? No, just the usual roles that we have at home, I drive, my wife navigates, I cook, she does the dishes. We each pack our own bags, and we pack the car together. Everything else is agreed upon by discussing. She does all the laundry if only because of my incompetence, after I once turned some of her white clothes pink.
(Some Examples: Does one of you do all of the suitcase packing? Does one of you always do all of the car packing? Does one of you do all of the shopping for the trip?

Passover begins at sundown today (Monday) and ends on April 30. Happy Passover to our Jewish QOTDers.
THE QUESTIONS
1) When was the last time you traveled by yourself on a vacation, (not to visit friends/relatives), and where did you go? Last solo trip was to Palm Springs in Nov of 2019.
- If you liked traveling by yourself, what did you like about it? I travel either alone or with my husband, never friends. I don't want to risk personality clashes, and I like feeling free to do things my way. But my husband is easy to travel with.
- If you won't travel by yourself or never traveled by yourself, what is the reason? There are places where I won't travel alone - New Orleans is one of them.
2) If you are on a road trip, where you will be in a vehicle most of the day, what kind of snacks and/or drinks do you bring with you in your vehicle, if any? I do very little 'snacking' during road tripping. But we take things like Pringles, Cheetos, cheese strings, boiled eggs if we have room for it in the smaller drink cooler, and Payday bars (no chocolate to melt).
- What do you take into consideration, if anything, when you choose what to drink or eat in your vehicle on a trip? For the driver, something easy enough to eat. Payday and cheeses are for the protein and less mess. Drinks could be anything. I have IBS, so I typically eat and drink next to nothing until we stop somewhere for the night.
3) Do you pack the car for a multi-day vacation the day you leave, the day or night before you leave or a few days before you leave? On the day we leave. Breaking into cars to steal is a big crime where I live.
4) If you are staying in a vacation spot for a week or more, and the place you are staying has a kitchenette, do you:
a) bring groceries from home We haven't yet.
b) shop for groceries at your vacation spot Yes but just basics
c) eat out every night Mostly
d) do something else? (explain)
5) For any type of vacation, are you more likely to under-pack or
?
- What are you likely to bring too much or too little of with you? I pack things that many people don't: back-massager stuff, small lint-roller, small bottles of Febreeze, wrinkle-remover spray, lots of vitamins, an extension cord (and, yes, still find myself using it in motels), and I still take my laptop with me because I hate - HATE! - using my phone for anything besides calls. Needless to say, I wind up with heavy carry-ons, the computer goes under the seat.
6) Have you ever been away on a vacation where the weather has been bad multiple days in a row?
- If yes, how did you spend your time on those days? I was on a solo trip to NYC one year and got caught in an Nor'easter storm. Rained a lot off 'n' on and I got soaked crossing the Brooklyn Bridge (no sign of rains when I started the morning). But multiple days in a row... nope.
7) How much later or earlier do you get up in the morning when you are on vacation? I get up about the same time - 8 to 8:30.
- How much earlier or later do you go to bed when you are on vacation? Go to bed earlier but I turn on the room TV and wind up turning off the late around my usual time.

Feel free to answer for when you were married or living with someone if you don't live with someone of the opposite sex, now.
8) Are there gender roles in your household for who does what when you go on vacation? Well, when I travel on my own, he's pretty much in charge of laundry and his own meals.
I pack my own stuff, he packs his own, and he carries the bigger heavier suitcases down to the car.
I do most of the shopping but he buys whatever is needed for the car. He packs all the stuff into the back.
(He's a good 'stuffer'.) I'm the trip-planner. I do the unpacking, though I leave his suitcase up to him.
I do the laundry. He takes the car to the car wash.
(Some Examples: Does one of you do all of the suitcase packing? Does one of you always do all of the car packing? Does one of you do all of the shopping for the trip? Does one of you do all of the trip planning? Does one of you do all of the driving on a trip? Does one of you always suggest the vacation spot? Does one of you do all of the unpacking? Does one of you always do the laundry when you return?)

THE QUESTIONS
1) When was the last time you traveled by yourself on a vacation, (not to visit friends/relatives), and where did you go? I've never traveled alone on a vacation when it was not to visit friends or relatives.
- If you liked traveling by yourself, what did you like about it?
- If you won't travel by yourself or never traveled by yourself, what is the reason? Before I met my boyfriend (13 years ago), I had only vacationed alone when it involved visiting friends or relatives. I hated going to the airport (O'Hare) by myself and did not like having no one to talk to while flying. I did like looking out the window of the plane, though.
2) If you are on a road trip, where you will be in a vehicle most of the day, what kind of snacks and/or drinks do you bring with you in your vehicle, if any? It's been quite a while since I was last on a road trip more than a couple of hours. Last couple of trips were with my sister, and we brought t-ware containers of salad and some meat and cheese to eat at a rest stop along the way.
- What do you take into consideration, if anything, when you choose what to drink or eat in your vehicle on a trip? It must be something that's not too junky, nor messy, nor hot. I will drink a cold beverage (usually water) while driving, but will stop somewhere along the way to eat.
3) Do you pack the car for a multi-day vacation the day you leave, the day or night before you leave or a few days before you leave? The day of. I don't have a garage to park in. I've never taken a lengthy road trip (more than several days), so I didn't have to pack very much and it was easy to put just a bag or two in the car just before leaving the house.
4) If you are staying in a vacation spot for a week or more, and the place you are staying has a kitchenette, do you:
a) bring groceries from home <<This.
b) shop for groceries at your vacation spot <<Perhaps a few things, if needed.
c) eat out every night
d) do something else? (explain)
5) For any type of vacation, are you more likely to under-pack or over-pack? Over-pack.
- What are you likely to bring too much or too little of with you? Clothing in general. I'm never quite sure how many casual outfits versus dressy outfits I'll need, or how many warm-weather clothes versus cool- or cold-weather clothes I'll need. So..... I bring plenty of both.
6) Have you ever been away on a vacation where the weather has been bad multiple days in a row? Yes.
- If yes, how did you spend your time on those days? In May of last year my boyfriend and I were in Iceland for 6 days. The weather was awful: low 30s, rainy and sleety and very windy every day. But we did plenty of research beforehand and were well prepared. We had a ball despite the weather. Lots of layers and waterproof outer clothing. Nothing stopped us from going out. This was one vacation for which I did not pack any warm-weather clothes.
7) How much later or earlier do you get up in the morning when you are on vacation?
- How much earlier or later do you go to bed when you are on vacation?
A couple hours earlier for both, as my boyfriend is an early to bed, early to rise person. No sense in me staying up by myself. If I travel with my sister, we stay up late (midnight to 1 a.m.) and don't get up till about 8:30 a.m.

(Some Examples: Does one of you do all of the suitcase packing? Does one of you always do all of the car packing? Does one of you do all of the shopping for the trip? Does one of you do all of the trip planning? Does one of you do all of the driving on a trip? Does one of you always suggest the vacation spot? Does one of you do all of the unpacking? Does one of you always do the laundry when you return?)
I've never lived with a spouse/partner; have lived alone my entire adult life.
No one stepped up to do the Monday Questions. I'm sorry to read this, LauraC. You've done a great job, and it's been much appreciated. I hope someone will step up next Monday.

so I go to sleep earlier on vacation and I'm out by sunrise which at this time of year is around 6:00A, where I'm going. At home, lately, it's around 8:00a or 9:00A.
