for me, its getting away from crowds on a camping trip or getting a little cabin in a state park. I have a low tolerance for the high trafficked tourist scene. My husband and I were in Pigeon Forge, TN the end of May for work, and while I found the attractions amusing the first day, I was so done with the cheesiness and the crowds and traffic within 24 hours. This is why cities don't appeal to me either - I feel hemmed in and all the rush around and people and noise just get on my last nerve fairly quickly. For me to take a vacation in a high tourist area or a city, I would need lodging away from the bustle so I could drive in for the day and then leave it all behind at night.
but a camping trip in the woods, sitting around the fire, listening to the birds in the day and the crickets at night, bundled up and reading a book or talking out story ideas, driving up onto the mountain for the scenic view or going to my husband's family cottage in WI on a lake, reading on the pontoon boat in the water and listening to the loons call in the late evening - that is what relaxes me and gives me a sense of peace, and that's usually what I need on a vacation these days.....describing all that just makes me REALLY want a vacation right now!
