What are things you see others do on vacation that you think are strange / not something you’d ever do?

TCuz Disgraced Rules President

Avoid exercise.

Superkid

Or go to the gym. 😉

Especially if it’s just you and your wife

We once saw a German lady try on a golf shirt in Moab. Took her shirt off in pro shop and tried on other shirt. No bra.

DiamondDog

Let me guess: This was not a pleasant experience

Clark Addison

I didn’t mind. I was young.

DiamondDog

And she wasn't old?

At that point he was taking whatever he could get

Ah. The “National Geographic” method

I'm sure it was his breast experience up to that time.

I don't know what you are talking about. Mine was a typo, nothing more.

I’m dyslexic and genuinely trying to say “are real or fake”

Go to disneyland without kids. Not eat out/try new culture foods

My sister's family took a trip to NYC. They had a bunch of free sandwich coupons for Subway, for some reason I forget

Clark Addison

Aren’t subways an important part of NYC culture?

BYUCLA

There’s more to vacation than food but I get your point.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/28/21 11:10am

Disneyland without kids is 100% more fun and easier. If you don't like Disneyland either way, then it doesn't matter,

vegasnative

I'll second that. I enjoy splash mountain, space mountain, Indiana Jones, etc.

TailgateU

Gift shops, eat places you have at home, haul luggage in public places.

I see people on Day 1 go to Costco/local grocery store and then cook most meals during the week.

TCuz

3/28/21 10:50am

We usually do one meal a day at hotel. Other than that it's eat out.

ordinary tri guy

3/28/21 10:56am

Eating out for every meal can be tiresome and time consuming. Especially if

CougarTailDevourer

Eating out every single meal sounds awful to me, and I love food & restaurants.

There’s no way I’m taking all of my kids out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner when staying at a VRBO in Hawaii.

Cereal or poptarts or something sounds fine. I draw the line at packing sandwiches.

Pro-tip: grab lunchables for your kids and buy real food for the parents.

We eat something light for breakfast. Usually skip lunch and have nice dinner when vacationing.

We’ve gone to Hawaii twice this year. Villas at resort with full kitchens. We went to store for drinks, snacks & fruits.

I agree that certain places and if kids are involved to buy food
