My parents are Disney Vacation Club members, so when I go on trips with them and my sister, it's usually to Disney World. Which is a great place, but so expensive! It's great that we get the "free" resort stay from my parent's DVC membership, but park passes and meals add up quickly. I love to go, but I can only afford it about half as many times as my parents go, which is usually about once a year.
When I travel on my own, my vacations are usually to Amsterdam, where my boyfriend lives and where I will be moving next year. I love The Netherlands; it's an awesome country, and despite it's size, there are so many things to see and do.
I've certainly been to many other places, though. Family trips growing up took us all over the country, and when I was 13, I was part of a "student ambassador" program and had a 3-week tour of the UK with a bunch of other kids. On my own, there were a few trips to Baltimore for Otakon before I started flying back overseas again, but I don't do as much traveling anymore, since it's hard to get the time off work, and the money to go.
My favouritest vacation ever was probably the trip I took to The Netherlands earlier this year; I was able to stay for a whole month! It was more like living there than actually being on vacation, but we still ended up driving/training around the country to visit different places. It was the most enjoyable, relaxing vacation I've ever had, a far cry from the "go go go, rush rush rush" mentality of most of my family vacations (Disney and elsewhere) where we get up early and stay out late to do as much as we can. I like being able to DO things on vacation, but I don't like the fact that I tend to feel like I need a vacation from my vacation to catch up on sleep and rest when we finally get home.
