I haven’t gone on a vacation in about 10 years. My wife and daughter usually go but I decide to stay home with the pets. The last three years they’ve gone overseas (London, France, London) and they will be going to London again in a few months because my daughter will be starting her next semester at Kings College. She was originally going to go there, but when my Father-in-Law has his heart attack she decided to stay in the US and go to American University in DC. But she didn’t like it there and decided she wanted to transfer to Kings. So she did a semester at our local court college to get her associates degree in the meantime. So I guess at some point in the future I will have to be go on vacation in London.

The best one was when my family drove up to Maine in 2010.

I've never been on a vacation before. Hell I've never even really left the North East. I'm in Connecticut and the furthest I've ever been is Ohio for a music festival.

I've been to a couple of places on holiday (Turkey, Tenerife), but to be honest I'm just not a fan of holidays in general. I've been to numerous places throughout the UK before (London, Scotland, Cardiff, Isle of Wight), but I don't really count them as holidays.
I'll be honest, I just don't see what all the fuss is about, and why most people depend on holidays. For me personally, I'm perfectly happy to just stay at home. I just like being at home. Laying outside in the sun just doesn't appeal to me.

Staycays are the best. New York was a vacation I hated. Does travelling the U.S. count as a hope for the next vacation?

I will caution though that the cost of living here has skyrocketed. That ol sunshine tax.

I'm originally from the UK but my dad got offered a job so we moved there when I was just under a year old and stayed for about 5 years. We moved back right before my brother was born. I wish I could have spent the rest of my childhood and teenage years but I feel very lucky to be able to say it was my home for those 5 years.

I really never went on vacations as a kid. It's strange, because my family wasn't terribly hard up - we were just an average middle-class American family. We took day trips every summer (theme parks, beaches, etc.) but we never went on a big trip to, say, Disney or anything like that.
The furthest I'd ever traveled from home (Maine) until last year was on my school's senior trip to Washington D.C. I had an absolute blast, but I wouldn't call it a traditional vacation. I also went to New York City several times.
Last year, my friends and I flew down to Orlando for Wrestlemania. We did all of the major events (Axxess, NXT, Mania, Raw, and Smackdown) and spent 4 days at Universal Studios. It was an absolute blast. That would likely be my favorite, with a brief trip to NYC for Wrestlemania XX with my dad, a friend, and his dad being a close second.

Im intrigued now...what the hell do you all call an actual holiday? lol (Christmas, Valentines...whatever) I’m American but I go to England often and they have “bank holidays” which aren’t vacations. Those are special days off like our American holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day etc. I think they don’t call xmas and Easter holidays. They just call them xmas and Easter. I’m from the UK. We do call Xmas and Easter holidays. For some weird reason my countrymen use the word holiday for vacation. I, however, use vacation to mean vacation and holiday to mean holiday lol

The best Holiday was the one where where I met my wife.
The worst is tough to decide. Prob a two way tie.
I went to a small town in Mexico where I hated my stay. Starting with the lousy plane ride there. On the plane the seats were tiny. My knees were jammed into the seat in front of me the entire time. Once there it was hot! No fans, no ac, just hot. The bed was hard as a rock. I got in touch with my innerself every time I went to the bathroom because the TP was the cheapest excuse for tp I've ever seen. And my luggage was lost on the return trip.
The tie was a trip I took to Nebraska. I had a great time. The thing though was a realization I had on the trip. I walked into a store, I got a 1 dollar bottle of Pepsi and a 2 dollar bag of chips. I walked up to the cashier and we kind of stared at each other for a second. She eventually asked me if I was going to pay or not. To which I replied, how much. She looked at me like I was the dumbest person alive. She said, well it's 1 for the beverage and 2 for the chips...... so 3 dollars. I asked about taxes and realized the don't pay taxes.
That has stuck with me for years now. In Chicago we pay a sales tax for the food. And then add a sales tax for the soda and at times add a tax for the plastic bottle. It's enraged me for a while to know we get the screws non stop in Chicago with taxes and other places pay nothing.

It's enraged me for a while to know we get the screws non stop in Chicago with taxes and other places pay nothing. Most places have taxes. Not just Chicago. True but Chicago has higher taxes than most places. In Chicago that pop and chips will incur a sales tax on the food. An additional tax on the Soda. We have a 5 cent tax per bottle for certain beverages. And then another 10 cents for a bag to take your purchase home. Add to that the 15 dollars an hour it costs to park on a city street in Chicago. Then add to that a residential parking permit to allow you to park in that neighborhood. Then add to that a city sticker that allows you to park on a city street. And then add to that a license plate sticker tax that allows you to register the vehicle in the state. It's tax after tax after tax after tax. A never ending cycle. So when I went to Nebraska I saw street parking was free. No goofy pile of stickers needed. Then I walk into the store and no sales tax. No beverage tax. No tax on the plastic bottle. And no tax for a bag....... it almost made me cry but then that quickly turns to rage because you realize how bad you get it on a daily basis back home.
