1. Do you enjoy traveling?
Love it

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?
Depends on the type of trip. A two week relaxing beach vacation is not the same as a week-long trek is not the same as a whirlwind weekend. Some busy shorter trips have me begging for home after a couple days, while a relaxing retreat will make me want to stay forever.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?
France - Provence & the south in particular for the food and wine; Edinburgh + Northern Scotland Isles for the history of the city and the gorgeous scenery up north; Costa Rica for the beaches and sloths.

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?
Love warm, beachy vacations but if I can find something more historical/cultural for the same price I end up feeling guilty and booking the more "important" vacation at high cost to my own relaxation. I don't care for historical spots in the US though, and I find road trips more functional than enjoyable. Camping is nice if we don't have the time or money to go somewhere better. Preferences are cultural/historical in Europe and relaxing/beaches in Central America.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?
Sonoma. Enough Dry Creek Zinfandel and I forget I was ever there before anyway.

[Curegirl]

1. Do you enjoy traveling? Yes but it depends on who I'm with on the trip.

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time? I like being home the best because I like familiarity but I also really like exploring so the best trips involve going someplace and pretending like I live there. The last vacation I took, I rented an apartment and had a local baker and made friends with the butcher so I could cook and really enjoy immersing myself in the culture.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are? Iceland, Egypt, Greece

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite? I like cold places unless there's something I really want to see like the pyramids. I hate, hate, hate road trips but love trains. Historical places are good but only when it's not tourist season and I really like camping.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of? I can never tire of Japan and any place near the ocean.

[bokelley]

1-love vacation. It is what I look most forward too
2- no less than a week if I travel by air. And preferably 2. Over seas and no less than 2
3-bora bora, Monaco, Maldives
4-love warm beaches. Most of the times that is where u will find us. Or traveling for a redsox game
5-NYC every year. Aspen once a year and then two long vacations to some beach or warm weather climate. Plus we try to get away every six weeks on a weekend trip.

We truly love to travel. It is a big part of our yearly budget.

[Cinderella]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?

Most of the time.

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?

It's situational. If my health is not doing well I need to be home.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?

Italy, Japan, France (All 50 States road trip)

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?

Like all. Luxury trips I like the best. Cruises are perfect with the food and day trips.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?

Not for a very long time. I remember now. I love California & every trip I've taken to different places there.

1. Do you enjoy traveling?

Yes

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?

Too much is over 2 weeks.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?

Wish list: Italy, Scandinavia, Ireland

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?

I like historical places. I'm going to live in a beach destination, so no need to go to other beaches. Road trips are fun-- I love planning them and going to small museums and national parks that otherwise we'd never see. Camping is OK but my dh doesn't like it, so he makes it kind of not fun. We camp for 1 night within driving distance of our house...

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?

Disneyland, or Disneyworld. I could go to Orlando or to the LA area over and over. There are so many different places to go, different parks to see. I could seriously spend weeks in either area. I do prefer The World though (the food is just so much better!!) I would go to the amusement parks as an adult without my kids. My husband would not, though. Good thing I have so many kids-- I'm planning on trips to the parks as a grandma for as long as I can manage!! Decades of Disney ahead of me!!

[houseelf]

1. Do you enjoy traveling? YES!!!!

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time? Nope. I have lived abroad several times and spent months on end away. I wouldn't want to be away from my family for a long time. Kids change too quickly. If hubster and the kids were along, I am home.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are? South America, India, and Thailand. I want to be overwhelmed with cultural differences. The world is getting too homogenized.

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite? All of it. I love historical tours, I like big cultural cities, I love a little Rocky Mountain High and sandy beaches. I like both high and low brow vacations.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of? I have to say that with kids, Disney does a good job of entertaining all age groups. It is "easy" travel. Nonehteless, I don't want my kids to get just "manufactured" vacations. I want them reading the subway maps, finding the lodge, greeting the locals, etc.

[KlynK]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?

Love it, we haven't done near enough in recent years due to time and money constraints

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?

Depends on the trip. I'm not too attached to home though I do enjoy coming back to my own bed after being away for awhile. And living out of a suitcase gets old after a couple of weeks.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?

Hawaii and North Dakota are on my list - HI because of the obvious and ND because it would complete my traveling to all 50 states.
Europe - never been there and want to see so many places, Ireland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, England, Spain
An tropical island with soft, sandy beaches and clear water

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?

I am not the biggest fan of historical places. Love most everything else. I like to go to warm places to chill on a beach and play in the water. I enjoy going to mountains to ski/snowboard, hike, or just enjoy the scenery and views. Road trips are fun though those wear on me faster than more relaxing vacations. Long road trips (being in the car for several days on end) just make me yearn for home. Camping is good for shorter periods of time. I like going places where there is different food/drink and being able to experience different cultures.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?

There aren't many places that I have been to on vacation multiple times. We have traveled to Denver several times while living in KS and we never got tired of that city. There is a lot to do in and around it and I can't imagine ever getting bored going back.

[MAPPLEBUM]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?
Absolutely

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?
My first year out of school I was traveling at least a week out of every month. That got old, though still never tired of hotel rooms.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?
Amsterdam, Istanbul, and Greece (all of it !)

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?
Climate is not much of a factor. Our typical vacations are to bring 2 packs with camping gear, rent a car, and cover as many miles as possible. Before meeting DH I was more into the cultural aspects of travel but now we're outdoor hounds.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?
No, though tomorrow we fly out to Northern California for the 2nd time in less than two years. Just because.

[Bittersweet]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?

Love it!

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?

I honestly don't know. We're so vacation starved that I can't imagine how much travel would be too much. I'd love the opportunity to find out, though.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?

Galapagos Islands, New Zealand, and South Africa.

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?

I love a warm, beachy location for a change of scenery and activities. We're not lay on the beach folks, so it has to be someplace with lots of outdoor activities and places we can explore independently. I also like camping and more historical-site based international travel. However, those aren't as attractive to me now that I'd have two toddlers along for the ride.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?

Hawaii, particularly the Big Island and Maui. We've been three times and I'd love to go again soon.

[ladymoreta]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?
Love it! It's our biggest splurge of our budget, and the amount of vacation is a huge part of why we're happy with DH's job.

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?
The longest vacation I've been on was a week, so I'd love the opportunity to find out if I have a limit.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?
Italy, France, and Scotland

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?
I love warm places and historic places. I don't love road trips right now because of the kids, but we took a really fun one with another couple in college up to Michigan. Hate camping; my idea of roughing it is a Best Western. Beaches are probably my favorite.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?
NYC is probably at the top because I don't think I'd ever run out of new things there. A surprising second is Hot Springs, Arkansas. We went there a few times while I was growing up, so it's nostalgic for me. DH and I went when I was interning in Bentonville and had an amazing time. It's such a fun little town.

[SuzySunshine]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?
Yes, now that the kids are older and it is easier we love to travel.

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?
Constant traveling, like for a job would be to much but I'd gladly take a week off a month.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?
Paris, Spain and Japan

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?
We like all of those things, we loved camping before we had kids and we can't wait until their old enough for all of us to go again. Warm places with nice hotels are by far my favorite though, vacations of nothing but relaxing!

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?
Right now its Turks & Caicos but once we add some more locations to our repertoire we'll see...

[niener]

1. Do you enjoy traveling?
S'YEAH!!

2. How much is too much traveling? Do you need to be home a certain amount of time?
If it weren't for the dogs and the hubby I could travel indefinitely. If they're not with me, my limit is probably about 10 days stateside and 2-3 weeks overseas.

3. Top three places on your wish list to travel to are?
Basically anywhere in Europe (the only country there I've been to so far is Italy), Australia/New Zealand, and Portland/Seattle/Vancouver

4. How much do you like going to warm places, historical places, road trips, and camping? What's your favorite?
I'll take all of the above. I just like to go, doesn't much matter where. I'm a frequent road tripper, often on my own. Historical places are probably my favorite. I've never done proper camping before but I think I'd enjoy it for a few days and then just really want to take a bath.

5. Do you have a go to destination for vacations over and over that you just don't get tired of?
I have family that lives in Hawaii so I've been there a few times and can't see myself ever getting tired of it. We rarely do repeat vacations unless it's to a destination where we have family or friends to visit.

[Pollyanna]

Love to travel (but we don't very often and likely won't because of kids schedules, college tuition, etc).

I think three weeks is my max.

Wish list would be to get back to NYC (I haven't been in years), Ireland, and Vatican City. And I want to go dog sledding .

Love historical places! Camping? That's a joke right? That is a load of work with no amenities . Cold and warm is fun for different reasons.

We never ever get tired of Disney. We could go several times a year with no problem. It's the best!

[Thirteen]

We love Disney, too - furthermore, if you do decide to go dog sledding, I (obviously) would love to be in on that.
