My wife has just forced me to go have a mandatory vacation and do a bunch of bullshit for 1 week... and I'm still pissed off at her about it.

A vacation for me would be just being left alone. I could've played guitar, lifted weights, read a book... I mean just go without me!

I think it's my personality... I know how to, and enjoy entertaining myself. It's not my fault that she's a wannabe socialite that suffers from just looking like a retard in social situations. The only reason I can pretend to be super social is because of a past job. I have no desire to hang out with people for no reason. I hate getting put in a situation where I literally have nothing better to do than get drunk 24/7... or be around a bunch of retards that just want to spend money.

I just want my routine and to do my own thing. I'm one more forced vacation from divorce. Hookers are cheaper and they'll leave me alone after I bust my nutt.

Anyway

, that's how I feel about it.

I rarely travel alone. I've been just returned from being gone for 10 days, I can tell you the most challenging part was not being a part of every day life in our household. Telephone conversations only reveal tiny clips of their day.
my wife travels, extensively, and when it's for a long period as more than a week, sometimes my mind and worries get the best of me.

exitseven · Answer

It is really hard to put enough paid time off together to take a real vacation.

RonanAN · Answer

The organization of everything, I'm very obsessive about order and things going according to the plan so the amount of things that can go horribly wrong while traveling gives me all the anxiety in the world.
But then once I land at my destination it's really freeing for me, so I just power through the ordeal.

Meropatrick · Answer

Ohhhh i hate the whole airport phase. Being on an airplane next to a crying toddler. The entitled travelers. The hectic flight attendants. Praying that a selfish prick wouldn't be seated next to me.. Waiting in line. Waiting waiting waiting. some nasty people at the airport. Delayed flights. Walking miles inside the airport to the gate. Nasty officials at the screening tbrowing my liquids away. Removing ur shoes for screening. Technology didn't make travelling any less annoying. I prefer travelling on the back of a horse over economy class

Constatine · Answer

The noise, the people... 😄 I see movie clips about cities so crowded.. It scare me.

All the noise of cars, people talking, bad air in some cities / countries...

I love the peace and quiet 🤫.. That's why I travel only in the top part of my country.

Wildlife, waterfalls, peace..

And please don't get me wrong.. There are Beautyful cities also quiet... But getting there is a war zone to me... 😄

Leaving the normal life for some time and being in unknown places. Especially if you travel solo. another hard thing is people having a different view about traveling or vacations.

For me the hardest thing was me going on a solo-trip to Germany for a week. Being unexperienced in a unknown place was difficult and scary for me. But it also taught me some essential things/insights you won't learn from other ways.

I'd say the culture shock. Not necessarily the customs (though this was the case in Asia), but dealing with things like scammers, corrupt officials and lack of care or organization, which is something you don't have to worry about in the U. S.

When flying, the time you have to bet to the airport for, and then getting through security, especially TSA in the US, as it seems as thought they don't know what they are doing most of the time.
