Would You Rather Wednesdays!

Would you rather travel to a quiet and serene resort or a lively and active resort?

We get it. People like to get away from their busy and stressful lives when they plan a vacation. They are eager to read by the pool, get a massage, eat scrumptious dinners then retire to bed early to do it all over again. They enjoy sipping a drink here and there and can even find themselves napping by the pool. Let’s call them the “tranquil” traveller.

Then there are the other kinds of travellers. They like to get up, try new activities, socialize with many drinks by the pool and can even be found participating in the nightly shows! These individuals enjoy music as they lounge, stay up late, and may roll into dinner a little “tipsy”. Let’s call them the “energetic” traveller.

When we were away last week we saw both tranquil and energetic travellers. However, it seemed to us there were far more tranquils around.

When Richard and I travel we tend to enjoy more lively resorts/hotels. And when we vacation with my sisters and brother in laws, let’s just say we approach a fine line between energetic and wild:

- We bring our own speaker and music

- We always have a full drink or shot glass

- We interact and socialize with anyone else who looks interested in conversation

-We participate in lots of activities and/or get our own going

  

*I know what you are thinking…they sound like a bunch of spring breakers. However, my sisters have five kids between them and our ages range between 33-40.

Everyone’s idea of a getaway or escape is different. We clearly enjoy doing poolside activities we can never do at home in Canada. What kind of traveller are you? Tranquil or energetic?
