If I were by myself, I would choose urban exploration on foot. I like to learn and to see new places. In my sixties, I feel more vulnerable, so I would not hike in nature alone, and I do not like to eat alone anymore. (When I was young, I had no problem eating out alone.) So if by myself, I would go to museums and historical sites.
If I am with H or the kids, a more likely scenario, we would go on a more pure and exotic exploration vacation. We do best going to a place none of us has ever been and figuring it out together. H is restless and the kind of traveler who must have every minute scheduled, while the kids want to catch up on sleep, so that is a source of tension. Two of our most successful family trips? Galapagos and Iceland.We were out learning and seeing new things every day. Physically active and challenging. Okay, I said I am an old lady and so worry about taking risks alone. If I am with family, I am much braver. I am the one who says “let’s try…”
H and I like to swim and run when we travel, if possible, We do not feel like we have to train, but we do enjoy finding a pool or a park and seeing how it is to engage in these sports while away.
