Yep, I find that odd.

Just kidding. Everybody is different. We don't all have the same likes and dislikes. Makes life interesting.

We LOVE to travel. I've discussed our travels many times here. We go to Disney World every year in the fall. We take a 1 or 2 week vacation each summer and often 1 week in the spring. And many day trips or weekend trips throughout the year as well. Just to give you an idea, my daughter is 12 and has visited 16 US states, been to Disney World 14 times, been on 3 cruises and has been to Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Belize, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico. And just today my wife and I had a conversation about possibly going to Israel next summer (I've been there but she and our daughter have not).

All of that said, I'm a more adventurous traveler than my wife. I like to wander and explore new places. She prefers to play it safe, take organized tours, stick to the main street, etc. When we were in Mexico a couple of years ago, she was very uneasy walking through town. I wanted to explore more but she wanted to stay in one small area where the bus let us off. She doesn't mind wandering quite as much when we are in the US but gets more uneasy when we're out of the country.
