Easy for me. The farther away from motors and engines, the better.

Major cities for me.

I can be bored at home, I don't want to pay to be bored.

Show me the mountains and the ski slopes!!! The more I deal with professional athletes the more I dislike people.

Depends for me. I've done and thoroughly enjoyed both.

Depends on who I'm with. Alone, I would take a mix. Traveling with someone I would probably stick to big cities. I've done both and loved both, so. . .

I want either Vegas or a beach.

Disney World. I'm slightly obsessed with the place.

I enjoy both. Depends on who I am with, and what kind of a vacation I need.

 

I can't answer... why can't you have beach + major city?

 

You can, that's my answer but its not an option. I require a beach and a cool downtown (and yes, Lahaina counts as a cool downtown in my book!)

Big city...I like the hustle and bustle, the culture, the restaurants. But then again, having a hut on the ocean in Fiji doesn't sound too bad either.

Huh, Williams was obviously still high on cocaine. My 5 year old LOVED meeting Mickey and gang.

Iam guessing you enjoy it just because your kids enjoy it.I would feel wierd going there on vacation with no kids.

It also depends on who I'm going with. For example, it might be significantly more enjoyable to spend a week in the middle of no where in a bunch of national parks if I was going with a bunch of other geologists and a large cooler of beer, while the wife might not be up for that, on the other hand, some of the city stuff, or even hotels (i.e. the Old Faithful lodge, which someday I will stay @) in the more wild areas might work better with her.

Exactly, the only reason I had fun was the kids.

Nope, the kids had very little to do with my overall enjoyment. I would go without kids in a second.

Major city by far.

Beach is my favorite

It doesn't really matter to me, though, as long it's warm.

You get out of either what you put into them. I love doing both things to be honest.

Definately the country for me. I've neve been into the city life, although it's ok once in a while. But since I crazily ride my bicycle all the time, going mountain biking would be awesome. Plus I've never actually camped out somewhere and that would be cool too.

Anyone ever tell you that you are the spitting image of Goofy?

 

Wait...what...? He's on the right? Ohhhhh...

I'm glad you "ratted" yourself out, so I didn't have to.

GET IT??? RATTED????

WHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

I hate crowds - I'm the guy that sits in his seat at The Cell until they kick me out so I don't have to fight the crowds down the ramps, but I love Las Vegas and enjoy the hustle and bustle. That being said, I chose the great outdoors, because Vegas is the only city I can stand the crowds. Give me a campfire, chair and a 12 pack on ice and I'm a happy boy!
