OT: What do you folks do for vacations?
Well vacation season for many is ticking away. What do you guys like to do? International? Nearby? Cities or nature? Culture or camping? Do you try new places or have a favorite destination? Must you ride? Do you unplug? Are you among the many that do not take vacations? If so, why?
As for me, I am obviously avoiding work at the moment. Next vacation is a week in Berlin. I like to see different places. I hardly ever unplug, unfortunately. But it helps pay for the bike habit at least.

Depends. So far this year 5 days during the winter in the adirondacks, 4 days bicycling in the Finger Lakes and planning a 5 day motorcycle ride somewhere. And most likely a week in the Alps next March.

I tend to destroy any weight loss achieved in the few months leading up to any vacation... Luckily, I don't find the Bay Area to provide the best dining experiences so I only really seek out those experiences while traveling.
I tend to visit metropolitan areas when vacationing, often to see friends at the same time. Often seeking out museums, recommended sights, or hidden gems. I used to travel with a good amount of full-frame photography gear, but now I find myself sticking to a 1" point to avoid all the luggage. Otherwise, it's Hawaii/Tropics for the wifes enjoyment. Snorkling would be the activity we seek out most, sea kayaking as well which we also do at home.

My vacation:
Early morning light breakfast followed by a bike ride in the 3-4 hour range depending on terrain/tempo and such Shower and some liquid calories Walk in the park with my old dog, lounge in the shade Make a glorious lunch and dine slowly to some kind of comical media Spend 3-4 hours doing something with my mind and hands like building/mechanics/learning/etc. and/or complete basic life tasks like bills/groceries/talk or hang with friends and family/etc. Walk in the park with old dog and a nap in the shade Cook dinner and dine slowly usually try to read media during this time Watch a movie or a couple shows, or finish/continue some project Sleep in my own bed Wake up early and repeat for a few weeks as often as you can.

Lucky and stoked to be living a leisure lifestyle, so it's hard to ever justify vacations.

In the past ive done...
Two weeks in ireland with my family visitng family. A week and a half snowboarding the salt lake city area. 10 days of exploring seattle and car camping at olympic national park. Driving tour of lake michigan's perimeter with my golf clubs and campsite reservations. 10 days at the jersey shore with my bro and his wife. Late May this year i did two weeks in an italian town with bikes and bike friends. Next weekend, a 5 day bikepacking tour in northern vermont with a buddy. If this bikepacking trip goes well..im thinking next winter ill do 2 weeks in new zealand with a week of bikepacking and a week of exploring a city. These all sound extravagant but theyve cost at most $1800 (italy) and as little as $400 (jersey shore).
