What kinds of vacations do you enjoy?

My wife likes to go to resorts. I like to go on touring vacations where we go from place to place to enjoy new things. I prefer other countries as the venues for these vacations.

Usually, the vacations involve plane flights and car rentals and then we rent rooms in inns. But lately we’ve taken to establishing a home base somewhere and returning there every night. It’s easier and cheaper that way, since we have kids. The other kind of vacation we take is a family vacation, where we all go to a lake or the ocean or whatever with the extended family for a week.

So what kinds of vacations do you like? Staycations? Resorts? Activity vacations? Going to the same spot every year? Why do you like these kinds of vacations?
