I am now. Wasn’t when I was in undergrad and younger. Once, I booked a flight and plans at 3 AM to spend the summer in Latin America.
Now it’s no fun. I need a wheelchair if I’m going to be walking more than a half mile and most places are still not accessible. Then there’s the hassle of coordinating my meds and doctors. Plus Mr R hates planes and we both have ah hard time adjusting to new food.
I happily “travel” writ my VR system though 
H and I are such homebodies that we just bought a second home (MIL’s house) near a beach. So even when we’re on vacation we’ll be home!
@oregon101, trip is only going to be about 5 days and planning on staying in Reykjavik the whole time and just doing day trips.
@eyemamom, thx for the offer. I’m sure I’ll take you up on it as I get into the meat of planning. Right now I’m trying to tie down dates that work for everyone (we are going with two other couples.)
@emilybee - we did the same thing. Stayed in Reykjavik - at the radisson blu and did day trips from there. I was not interested in the slightest in traveling along the ring road and camping and roughing it - lol
Love to travel, but going to parties and events just makes me really uncomfortable. DH is leaving for a business trip overseas tomorrow and S2 is going out tomorrow night. I plan to wear my jammies, alternate between sports on TV and music, and sew all night. There’s a craft show on Sunday and I haven’t been in years. Noone will be around to say boo about it!
I enjoy home and travel. We have about 3-5 trips/year to see family, MDs and attend conferences. We also like seeing the great national parks in our country.
This year, we have been to DC, Chicago, Glacier, SF, Yosemite, Indianapolis and will be doing another trip to DC in a week.
International travel takes more planning and is something we don’t do nearly as often.
We have no pets and we do enjoy being able to see our kids and other family members when we travel. We also enjoy nice meals, especially dinners.
Travel always requires airports for us—no roadtrips in Hawaii.
Our longest trip was about 5 weeks and I generally prefer to travel for at least a week or two rather than just a few days where I can’t even adjust to the time zone.
We have very leisurely trips and don’t try to do and see everything.
I am like @CountingDown - like to travel but don’t care much for parties and events. I have always been a bit introverted, although I don’t seem that way to people with whom I am comfortable. I don’t like making small talk with people I don’t know, though. I have to attend museum openings for my job, and it is painful to mingle. Blech.
I thought I was the only one that hates parties or events with strangers or casual acquaintances. I’m beyond having to ‘network’ and am very sub conscious about standing around trying to make conversation. I’m a homebody when it comes to those types of events.
Count me as another person who doesn’t like parties and events with strangers or people I don’t know well. I’ve never been particularly good at or interested in making small talk.
Homebody! Give me family, dogs, and a good book…
Like kelsmom people who know me think I am an extrovert but I am only a social extrovert.
My comfortable self is a loner at heart. I seriously dislike chit chat. Do not care for events including
weddings. I do enjoy small dinner parties. I am great and enjoy preparing for events but then I do not even
want to attend myself. I just like to stage things. I have been known to go sit in our closet for a break.
Getting ready to leave for dinner at friends house and am wondering if they will have others who we do
not know…preparing myself for this possibility.
Well, I love to travel and so does DH. But, I am very happy with my mundane home routine, too. We take simple trips logistically when in need of a vacation and more complex ones when time to plan and energy permit. Our simple trips may involve 6-10 miles of walking most days, but we aren’t in a hurry and are open to serendipity. It is relaxing for us.
