Thats the thing I don't get with vacations. I am stressed at work so I take a week off to be stressed somewhere else for a week? Don't get me wrong, there is so much to love about vacations but I never found vacations to be relaxing just because I feel like I am under time pressure to go out and see and do as much as I possibly can in the limited time at the vacation spot.

In contrast taking a week off and just staying at home has been far more relaxing.
